What you get
Six modules. One console that knows your job.
Think of it as a personal command centre for your career: it starts from your role and the goal you set, and every module points the same way.
Certifications
The certifications people in your role usually get, what they cost, how long they take and the typical pay range they open up.
“Which ticket is worth paying for?”
Ambition Planner
Enter the pay you want and the year you want it by. Bastion works backwards to a plan, year by year.
“How do I get to 80k by 2030?”
Learn
Hand-picked YouTube lessons for the skills that move your career, with a search for every topic.
“Show me, don't tell me.”
Projects
Track your own projects, or pick a curated one like “Weld yourself a gate”, and turn the work into proof.
“What can I build this weekend?”
Community
Report a bug or ask for a feature in two clicks, and see what's planned next on the public roadmap.
“Bastion grows with the people who use it.”
Ambition Planner
Name the number. Bastion works backwards.
- Enter what you earn now, the pay you want and the year you want it by.
- See the gap, the growth it needs each year, and whether typical raises alone would get you there.
- Get a year-by-year plan: which certifications, which moves and which projects close the gap.
- Every figure is a careful estimate, and the page says so. If the year is too soon, Bastion suggests a realistic one.

Questions
Good to know
What happens after the 3-day trial?
From day 4 you choose a monthly or yearly plan to keep using the modules. If you don't, nothing is charged: your profile stays, and you can still download everything you saved.
Does the plan renew automatically?
No. Each payment covers one month or one year. Near the end you can pay again if you want to continue.
Where do the pay figures come from?
From public salary surveys, union and government pay scales, and certification bodies' own reports. They are ranges and estimates, not promises. Your pay depends on your country, employer and experience.
Which roles are there today?
Twelve to start: welder, electrician, carpenter, truck driver, nurse, software engineer, data analyst, mechanical engineer, civil engineer, product manager, accountant and sales rep. Tell us which role you want next.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your profile, pay and projects are visible only to you. They sit in Maverick's database behind row-level security, under the same Nimbus security rules as Maverick. Our Trust centre explains how we protect data.
Is this the same company as Maverick?
Yes. Bastion is built by Speedloop Technologies on the same platform as MAVERICK - Applied Intelligence for your Business, so improvements to one reach the other.
