THE REPORT
What a Lumara report includes
It takes a felt, hard-to-name experience of work and gives it a shape: what you need, and where this role falls short.
Here is each part of the report, and why it is there. The two reads include different parts. Choose one to see what changes.
Two reads
CHOOSE YOUR QUESTION
NEEDS AND GAPS
What you need, and how this role measures up.
You rate your own needs and, separately, what your situation supplies. The report holds the two against each other and shows where the role falls short.
NEEDS ONLY
What you need from work, with no role attached.
The same twenty needs, the same depth, without the supply comparison. The read for someone between roles, or not ready yet to put their current one under a light.
What's in it
NEEDS AND GAPS
The examples follow a sample reader, Priya, through her own report.
01
It starts with what matters most to you
You do not need everything from work equally. The report opens with the few needs that reach you most, and everything after is read against those.
Example
The one that reaches Priya most is seeing the difference her own work makes.
02
It reads the whole role before any single gap
The report reads the role as a whole first, whether it is holding you or wearing on you. Each gap is then understood in that setting.
Example
Priya’s reads as a good role, with the shortfall sitting where the work is seen and where there is room to grow.
03
It gives you one place to start
The report names the one gap worth addressing first, and the move within reach. You leave knowing where to put your attention.
Example
Hers is contribution visibility, and most of the move is in her own hands.
04
It shows the rest, in order
You do not need everything from work equally. The report opens with the few needs that reach you most, and everything after is read against those.
05
It names what is already working
The report names what the role gives you, so the shortfalls sit in proportion to a role that is, in real ways, working.
Example
Hers holds a stable job, a manageable load, and belonging among her peers.
06
It shows the pattern across your needs
Where your needs lean clearly one way, the report names the pattern: where they weigh most, and whether the shortfalls fall in the same place. Where nothing stands out, it says so.
Example
Priya leans toward being valued and where the work leads, the same place her gaps sit.
07
It shows everything, in one view
Every need together, need and supply side by side, so the whole picture sits in one place. The read above is where to look first.

What it does not do
No instruction
It does not tell you to leave, or to stay. The read points at what is within reach; the decision stays yours.
No ranking
It does not score you against other people. The profile is a read of you, not a place in a line.
No type
It does not name you as a type. Needs shift with your situation, and the report reads the situation you are in.
The report gives you a read, and the reading is yours.
A read is only worth having if you can use it.

Some conditions at work you can manage without. Some you can't.
Lumara names the ones you can't, in language you can use. Be first to build your profile when Lumara opens. And the occasional note worth reading until then.
