02 · Readiness axes

4 things this role has to do. 4 things we measure.

Nobody cares how many hours your team spent in a course. They care whether the decision was sound. That's what we score.

Axis 01
weight 30%

Alert triage speed

Reading an alert fast and calling the right next move. Measured from triage and classification reps on SOC courses.

Axis 02
weight 25%

Incident classification

Putting incidents in the right bucket. Derived from threat and ops sessions across Sec+ / CySA+ material.

Axis 03
weight 25%

Escalation judgment

Knowing when to page the IR lead vs. when to chase the lead yourself.

Axis 04
weight 20%

Stakeholder comms

Clean subject-verb-object updates under time pressure.

03 · The wedge

Why this role, and why now.

Tier II analyst turnover is 40–60% annually. Replacing one analyst costs a mid-sized SOC between $40k and $80k. The existing training market is bifurcated: video-and-MCQ cert courses or raw labs. Neither measures whether an analyst can hold the actual seat.

CISOs who have a Sec+/CySA+ pipeline feeding their SOC but still watch Tier II hires wash out in 90 days. Readiness telemetry tells you who's job-ready before you promote them.

Our pilot gives you a readiness score per team member per axis, updated live from every completed rep, plus a weekly cadence of scenario-based PBQs aligned to your team's playbook. Pay per seat, not per course.
