Skills Are Evolving Faster Than Organizations

Shrinking Skill Half-Life

Skills now evolve faster than organizations can retrain, leaving teams chasing yesterday’s capabilities.

Slower Planning Cycles

Outdated job architectures and annual refresh cycles can’t keep pace with real-time market evolution.

Skill–Role Misalignment

Evolving workloads outgrow legacy role definitions, creating mismatches between talent, tasks, and training.

Asymmetric Functional Disruption

AI and automation reshape functions unevenly, creating blind spots in which skills to grow, redeploy, or retire.

Our Approach: Predictive, Market-Calibrated Skills Architecture​

Draup’s Predictive Skills Architecture continuously maps your job roles to the evolving external labor market.

Ingest and Consolidate Job Architecture Data​

Ingest and Consolidate Job Architecture Data​

Bring information about all jobs in one place and map into a job architecture: Job family -> Job family Level -> Job Profile -> Role/Title. Define salary bands for every level or at a capability level.

Deconstruct Roles into tasks and skills

Deconstruct Roles into tasks and skills

Draup unifies internal role data, breaks every job role into its core workloads, functional tasks, and underlying skills - root, core, soft, and technical, creating a transparent skills architecture aligned to real work.

Skill Signal Detection

Skill Signal Detection

Draup’s AI scans millions of live labor market signals -job postings, project data, patents, and learning content to identify emerging and declining skills by role, function, and region.​

Map sunrise and sunset skills​

Map sunrise and sunset skills​

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Predictive Skills Architecture?

Predictive Skills Architecture is Draup’s dynamic framework that maps every job role to its underlying workloads, tasks, and skills and continuously updates these insights with live labor data. It helps organizations forecast which skills are emerging (“sunrise”) and which are declining (“sunset”), enabling proactive workforce planning.

How is it different from a traditional skills taxonomy?

Traditional taxonomies are static and inward-looking. Draup’s framework combines internal job data with external market intelligence across 850M+ profiles and 1B+ job descriptions to continuously calibrate skill relevance, proficiency levels, and adjacencies.

What are Sunrise and Sunset Skills?

“Sunrise” skills are those rapidly growing in demand across industries and roles, while “Sunset” skills are declining in usage or value. Draup identifies these shifts early using AI models trained on peer hiring, job transitions, and learning trends.

How does Draup identify and validate emerging skills?

Draup blends large-scale machine learning with human validation. Skills are extracted from live job postings, projects, and professional data, then verified by analysts and benchmarked against official labor statistics and peer movements.

Can this integrate with our HR systems or L&D platforms?​

Yes. Draup integrates seamlessly with HRIS, ATS, and learning systems such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Cornerstone via APIs or custom data feeds embedding skill intelligence directly into your workflows.

How often is the skills data updated?​

Continuously. Draup refreshes its data ecosystem weekly with new job postings, peer hiring patterns, and learning signals keeping your workforce plans aligned with real-time market shifts.​​

What use cases can Predictive Skills Architecture support?​

It powers skills-based workforce planning, reskilling and mobility programs, job redesign, capability benchmarking, and strategic hiring enabling organizations to move from reactive to predictive talent decisions.

How does Draup ensure explainability and bias control?​

Every AI output is traceable and auditable. Draup follows NIST AI RMF and EAIGG standards, with bias checks, lineage tracking, and human-in-the-loop review to ensure transparent, defensible decisions.​

How does Predictive Skills Architecture connect to work redesign?​

By modeling roles at the task level, Draup pinpoints which tasks shift to automation, partners, or new roles enabling sequenced work redesign and workload rebalancing tied to measurable outcomes.​

Can it prioritize hire vs. reskill vs. redeploy decisions?​

Yes. The framework scores each path using impact, effort, and time to productivity, recommending the optimal route per role/region and providing reason coded tradeoffs for leaders.​​

How does it improve internal mobility and career pathing?​

It maps near‑match routes using skill adjacencies and proficiency gaps, then generates targeted learning paths and on the job task rotations to accelerate internal moves with confidence.

What does a 30/60/90 rollout look like?

30: ingest roles and generate top reskilling routes; 60: calibrate adjacencies and regional plans; 90: embed next‑best actions into HRIS/LMS/ATS and track KPI lift (time‑to‑productivity, mobility, fill rate).​
