Most tools are a filing cabinet for what you’ve already done. Path is for the practitioner who treats their development as a direction they choose — and builds the evidence for it, deliberately, as they go.

Capture anywhere

Capture it the moment it happens

The best evidence is the kind you’d otherwise forget. Path works in your phone’s browser — there’s no app to install — so you can grab a photo or a quick note on the spot and file it later.

  • Snap a photo. A certificate, a whiteboard, a thank-you card — straight from your camera into your inbox.
  • Jot a quick note. A reflection while it’s fresh, before the detail fades.
  • Categorise later. Captures wait in your inbox until you’re ready to turn them into a claim, CPD, reflection, or evidence.

Same account, same data — just the part of Path you reach for on the move.

See your gaps

See where you’re strong, where you’re thin — and what to do next

Path doesn’t just record activity. It maps your evidence against the standard and rates how strongly each criterion is met — so a coverage map shows not just what’s done, but the single highest-value move to close the gap.

Evidence quality

Not just what you logged — how well you evidenced it

Path rates each piece of evidence against Miller’s pyramid — the framework used in professional education to describe how deeply someone has demonstrated competence. A certificate says you attended. A practice record says you did it, with real outcomes to show for it.

Your portfolio map shows not just which criteria you’ve covered, but how strongly — so you can target richer evidence where the standard demands it.

Get eyes on your work before it counts

Send a private link to a mentor or assessor — no account needed — and get feedback and endorsements against the actual criteria, shown alongside the work itself. Inside an organisation, the same flow becomes a managed internal review.

A3.2 · Evidence-informed practice

Demonstrating evidence-informed practice in curriculum design

Draft · Last updated 12 Jun 2026

I applied evidence from systematic reviews of active learning pedagogy to redesign three core modules, shifting from lecture-based delivery to case-based formats. Student performance data over two cohorts shows a statistically significant improvement in summative assessment outcomes against the previous curriculum.

For your organisation

Know what your people are developing towards — and meet your standard

Whether you’re a university, an NHS trust, a professional body, or a membership scheme, Path gives you an anonymous, aggregate picture of how your people are developing against the standards that matter — so you can commission the right support and show your standard is being met, without putting anyone under surveillance.

Commission what's actually neededAggregate, anonymised development data across your people tells you what to invest in — before you spend on provision they didn't need.
A live picture of progressAnonymous, aggregate coverage across your cohort or membership — frameworks in use, coverage by criterion, CPD hours — updated as people work.
Your own standardsDefine your framework — CPD criteria, competences, membership grade requirements. Your people evidence against yours, not a generic one.
Visibility without surveillanceYou see patterns, not people. Someone appears by name only when they choose to share their path.
Regulator- and board-ready reportingExport aggregate compliance data when a regulator, accreditor, or board asks — without burdening any individual.

Privacy by design

Visibility without surveillance

Your organisation dashboard shows cohort-level data by default — how many members have started a path, what frameworks they’re using, where coverage is strong and where it isn’t. You see patterns, not people.

A person becomes visible by name only when they submit a path for review — an explicit, deliberate act of sharing. Until then, Path protects their portfolio as theirs.

What you see by default

  • What your people are developing towards, by type
  • Framework coverage across the cohort
  • CPD hours and evidence quality, aggregate
  • Criterion-level coverage across all frameworks

What stays private

  • Individual claim content and reflections
  • Whose evidence supports which criterion
  • Personal profile details
  • Everything, until the member chooses to share

Your standards, not ours

Your framework. Their evidence. Your insight.

Path doesn’t prescribe what counts as professional development. You define the standards — your CPD criteria, your competency framework, your membership grade requirements — and members gather evidence against them.

The result is an aggregate picture of how well your people are meeting your standards, by criterion and by evidence strength — ready to share with a board, a regulator, or a funding body, without burdening any individual.

1

You define the criteria

Add your standards, competences, or CPD requirements. Group them into pillars. Describe what evidence counts.

2

Members evidence against them

Each member builds their own portfolio against your framework — claims, CPD, reflections, evidence — rated by strength.

3

You see aggregate compliance

Your dashboard shows criterion-by-criterion coverage across your membership, updated as members add evidence.

How the review works

A structured review process, without the friction

  • A member submits their path for review when ready. An admin allocates one or more reviewers from the institution.
  • Each reviewer works independently through the criteria — reading the claims and evidence alongside them — leaving feedback and a recommendation.
  • Feedback reaches the member alongside their actual work, attributed anonymously to a “Reviewer” — review is blind, and reviewers don't see each other's comments.
  • The admin makes the final decision and sees aggregate progress across the cohort — never the detail of an individual's portfolio.

Your people are already doing the work. Path gives them — and you — a way to show what it means, and to demonstrate that your standard is being met, not just acknowledged.

Privacy & security

Your portfolio is yours, and it’s protected

Path holds sensitive professional work, so security isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into how the app is structured and run.

  • Two-factor authentication. Add a code from an authenticator app at sign-in, so a leaked password alone can’t open your account.
  • Private by default. Database row-level security means one person’s portfolio can never be read by another. Your content is yours until you choose to share it.
  • Encrypted & EU-hosted. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored in the European Union (Supabase, Ireland).
  • Trusted infrastructure. Deployed on Vercel over HTTPS throughout, with security headers and dependency scanning.

Read the privacy policy for the full detail.

Privacy tools

Redact sensitive details before they’re ever uploaded

Evidence in health and education often carries things that shouldn’t be stored — a patient’s name on a reflection, a colleague’s face in a photo, a signature on a form. Path lets you deal with that yourself, in the browser, before anything is sent.

  • Blur what matters. Drag over faces, names, or identifiers and they’re blurred into the image itself — not merely hidden. You choose what goes, so there’s no automatic detection to quietly miss something.
  • Nothing un-redacted leaves your device. Blurring, rotating, and cropping all happen in your browser — the only version that reaches Path is the one you’ve already cleaned up.
  • A nudge at the right moment. A consent reminder appears wherever you add a photo, prompting you to check permissions and strip identifiers you don’t need.

See how data is handled in the privacy policy.
