About This Project
GrowthVault gives professionals, freelancers, and coaches a personal system of record for qualitative feedback, reviews, and growth artifacts across employers and clients.
The scoped MVP focuses on single-user capture with manual entry, file uploads, tagging by skill, client, project, or timeframe, plus private reflection notes.
Timeline and dashboard views help users explore longitudinal progress while early AI summaries surface tone and recurring themes for faster retrospectives.
Freelancers can generate structured feedback request forms, manage privacy defaults, and export their vault for true data portability.

Why I Built This
Professionals lose access to reviews and performance insights whenever they change roles or employers.
Freelancers receive scattered client feedback across channels and rarely analyze it for growth.
Coaches and mentors need longitudinal visibility into client progress to guide sessions and celebrate wins.
Scope
Define the GrowthVault MVP so individuals can own, structure, and analyze their professional feedback in a private workspace.
