The central argument
What this book is trying to do
Professional ability becomes mobility only through a chain of conversions: capability must become evidence, recognition, access, opportunity, viable choice, and finally movement.
Who it is for: Professionals, executives, career changers, coaches, talent leaders, workforce strategists, and organizations trying to understand why capable people do—or do not—advance.

Key ideas
Questions and concepts carried through the work
- Capability is private until evidence makes it visible.
- Evidence has little career effect if decision-makers cannot recognize or translate it.
- Opportunity is not the same as choice when family, health, benefits, finances, geography, or legal constraints make movement unsustainable.
- Mobility is optionality, not constant motion.
