The full level-by-level ladder — every rung side by side, current level (M1) highlighted.
Pay by level
Same pricing source as the profile's ticker header — family multiplier + inherited focus differential over the function×level base.
Pay rises with level — the structure that explains the most pay variance.

Running the bench, not yet the lab
- Sets up basic lab rules, safety protocols, and standing meeting times but improvises when they break down
- Communicates task assignments directly, often reactively, without a consistent feedback rhythm
- Manages budget and equipment day-to-day, tracking spend in ad hoc spreadsheets
What’s next — Foundationalat M1 → M2
