How it works
120 things a PMM actually does, not concepts. You answer for what you can do, not what you've read. One domain at a time, pick it up whenever.
12 domains on one spidermap. Your strengths jump out, so do your blind spots — and the three domains to work on first arrive with the resources to do it.
XP for every step forward, quests to keep the rhythm, and a frozen snapshot for the day you want to compare.
Proof over time
Any assessment can be frozen into an immutable snapshot. Six months later you don't claim you got better — you lay the two maps on top of each other. Handy in a 1:1, decisive in an interview.
A sample comparison — the same PMM, two passes.
For managers · Coming soon
Your PMMs share their map when they choose to. You finally see the team as it actually is.
Explicit consent, always: a member opts into your team, and you never see the detail of their answers.

The book behind the method
Twelve chapters, one argument: product marketing isn't a communications function, it's how you turn product decisions into profit. This assessment maps directly onto its twelve domains.
Coming early 2027
Straight answers
A quiz tests what you can recite. Here, the 120 items describe things you either did or didn't do — “I wrote positioning that survived an exec review”, not “I know what positioning is”. The grid comes from a published method, and advanced items count three times what the basics do, so your score reflects the hard part.
Nobody does. You assess one domain at a time and pick up exactly where you stopped — three minutes on the train counts as much as a quiet session.
It's the risk, and the scale is built against it: “I could teach this” is not the same box as “I've heard of it”. And snapshots put you face to face with your six-months-ago self, which is exactly where flattery shows.
You can't close a gap you've never seen. Draw your first map: you'll know what to work on before the day is out.
No sales call. Just your honest answers.
