FOR COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES AND CAREERS PROGRAMMES
Choosing a life from a list of names.
A young person can find out how they work, and what real jobs sit closest to how they answered, before three years and a lot of money go into finding out the slow way.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
She's nineteen, and the list is alphabetical.
Business studies. Biotechnology. Civil engineering. She has never watched one person do any of them for a single day.
Her uncle has a view. Her best friend's father has a stronger one. The careers evening had eleven stands and a queue at three of them.
Every opinion in that room is confident. Not one of them is about her.
So she picks. And she finds out in year three, which is the most expensive place to find out.
THE REAL PROBLEM
Every opinion she's had about herself came from someone who'd known her ten minutes.
Careers advice at that age is mostly inherited. What worked for somebody else's child. What sounded impressive at a dinner. What the marks pointed at.
She has no work history to reason from and no CV worth reading. The one thing she does have is honest answers about herself, and almost nobody ever collects them.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE
Three she can start herself. All currently free.

This is the strong one for a student, because it names actual work. Six career types, her own six-letter pattern, and the real jobs that sit closest to how she answered, drawn from a public database of more than 900 occupations.
Not "you're a people person." Job titles she can go and look up, ask about, and rule out.
Kirnova ORVISabout 100 questions · about 15 minutes · eight interests, in order
Her eight work interests, ranked top to bottom. No score per interest, on purpose. Where two genuinely tie, they're named together rather than split apart on nothing.TIGER Light32 questions · about 10 minutes · five readings
How she tends to work. Whether people hear about problems from her early or late, how much of a room she moves, what pressure does to her, whether intentions turn into finished work, how fast she comes back.
She starts this one herself. Nobody can send her to it, including you. That is deliberate.
TIGER Light can be taken again after 24 hours, and any of the others after 30 days, and the report stays hers for good.
Try it while it's free.
She'll set up an account first. It takes a minute, and it's how her report stays hers.
IF YOU WANT TO RUN IT PROPERLY
TIGER Student.
One longer sitting: 48 questions on how she works, and 48 more on what she's drawn to. It goes deeper than anything she can start on her own, and it is the only one that does both halves in a single sitting.
An institution arranges this one. A student cannot open it themselves. If you're running a programme rather than leaving people to find these on their own, this is the one to talk to us about.
THE LINE WE DON'T CROSS
It doesn't tell anyone who they are.
There is no pass mark, no ranking and nothing anybody could switch on to sort a whole intake. It won't say a student is suited to something, or unsuited, and it makes no claim about how anyone will turn out.
What it does is open doors she hadn't looked at. Tell a nineteen-year-old what she is and you've made her world smaller. Hand her a list of real jobs she'd never heard of and you've made it bigger.
What she's drawn to is hers. It is guidance for her and nothing else. It never goes to an employer as something to weigh.
And the scoring never sees a name, a photo, an age, a school or a CV. Only the answers.
BEFORE YOU SEND ANYTHING
Kirnova is for over-18s. That's a choice, not an oversight.
Colleges, universities, foundation years, careers programmes, apprenticeships, adult learners — that's who this is built for, and it's who it works for today.
A younger person can't hold a Kirnova account. Handling someone under 18 properly means consent that involves a parent, and we would rather not offer that at all than offer a version of it that only half works.
If you work with under-18s, tell us anyway. We'd like to know what you need before we decide whether to build it.
