# Genesis > Genesis builds continuous market intelligence for one candidate at a time — accumulating named patterns, compensation signals, and structural traps across every briefing. Genesis is a Personal Market Intelligence platform built by David Jones at MainThread. It pairs AI processing at scale with a human operator who designs each candidate's bespoke harvesting pipeline. Each candidate receives intelligence briefings that surface named market patterns — phenomena like Pharma Velocity, the Comp Cliff, the AI-Native Ops Stampede — accumulating across every briefing into a longitudinal map of their job market. The product is in early preview. Access is by application; approximately 8 candidates are onboarded per month. ## Identity - [Genesis Homepage](https://genesis.mainthread.ai): Personal Market Intelligence — overview, features, and access - [Changelog](https://genesis.mainthread.ai/changelog): Release history with author-attributed entries - [Apply for early access](https://genesis.mainthread.ai/auth/signup): The questionnaire that begins the intelligence exchange ## Features (8) - **Bespoke Harvesting**: A harvesting pipeline built around each candidate's trajectory, extending into niches when they explore them. Reaches 6,000+ company career pages. - **Continuous Calibration**: Every signal sharpens the harvest from both ends — what to look for and how to rank what's found. Swipes, conversations, interviews, beacon responses all flow back. - **Intelligence Beacons**: The intelligence layer detects patterns in candidate responses and asks what they think. Answers refine the harvest, processing, and ranking. - **Semantic Search**: Search across jobs, messages, and documents by meaning. 1024-dimensional Voyage AI embeddings interpret what the candidate is looking for. - **Application Forge**: Tailored resumes and cover letters forged for each application. Operator and intelligence layer shape materials from the candidate's experience. - **Intelligence Briefing**: Four independent AI research passes investigate hundreds of roles per briefing. Returns prioritized list with rationale, compensation landscape, named market patterns, and positioning strategy. - **The Intelligence Pair**: Two intelligences shape every feed — AI models processing at scale alongside a team co-designing the harvest and shaping the judgment. - **Market Patterns**: Named, persistent, instance-backed observations about a candidate's job market that accumulate evidence across briefings. Each pattern has a definition, a status (emerging → active → sunset), a confirmation count, and a canonical instance job. ## Market Patterns (examples from production briefings, anonymized as needed) - **Pharma Velocity**: Three Marketing Director postings at a single major pharmaceutical company appeared in a single harvest window — observed across two consecutive harvests. A sustained pharma marketing-director hiring wave. - **The Comp Cliff**: NYC roles advertising senior titles with sub-floor salaries — a structural disqualifier the title-only filter cannot detect. - **The AI-Native Legacy Transformation**: Legacy industries hiring AI-fluent operations leaders to transform them — a 2026 wave observed across multiple candidates. - **The Functional-Ops Masquerade**: Titles that read "VP of Operations" but are structurally specialist IC functions. - **Founder's Associate Trap**: Sub-COS-pay roles that lock early-career Chief of Staff track candidates into commodified work. - **The Harvest Lag Trap**: A candidate's stated title cluster covers only 20–40% of the actually relevant market — without longitudinal feedback the harvest can't widen. - **The Comp Floor Illusion**: Advertised compensation systematically 15–25% above offer-stage range — only detectable longitudinally. ## Service Tiers - **Scout** (entry tier): Monthly harvest cadence, view-only dashboard, intelligence briefings. - **Hunter** (mid tier): Weekly harvest cadence, interactive dashboard with feedback and starring, beacon calibration loops. - **Forge** (premium tier): On-demand harvests, full concierge — applications forged with tailored materials per role. All tiers include intelligence briefings and access to Market Patterns. Cadence and operator involvement scale with tier. Tiers price the operator's time and attention rather than infrastructure. ## How It Works 1. **Apply & Onboard**: 5-minute questionnaire describing trajectory, target roles, geography, constraints. Operator-reviewed; accepted candidates upload resume + signal documents. Genesis onboards in small batches. First briefing within 7 days. 2. **Discover & Calibrate**: Swipe, explore, discuss. Every signal flows back into the intelligence layer. Beacon responses refine harvesting and ranking. 3. **Forge & Apply**: Tailored materials forged for each application. The intelligence pair shapes strategy. ## Common Questions - **What is Genesis?** Personal Market Intelligence — continuous market intelligence built for one candidate at a time. - **How is Genesis different from a job board?** Job boards index roles for everyone. Genesis builds a harvesting pipeline around one candidate's trajectory. - **What is a Market Pattern?** A named, persistent, instance-backed observation about a candidate's job market that accumulates across briefings. - **Who is Genesis for?** Mid-to-senior candidates who already know the kind of work they want, where the market uses 50+ different titles for it. - **How does AI fit in?** AI runs at every pipeline stage (harvesting, triage, briefing analysis, beacon calibration). Each output is reviewed by a human operator before publication. ## Agent Context - [Long-form export for IDE agents](https://genesis.mainthread.ai/llms-full.txt): Complete context export (~25KB) including voice doctrine, full FAQ, named pattern catalog, and changelog voice exhibit.
