RankLyst Advance · For promotion and tenure committees

Every dossier read against your school’s own criteria.

Advance reads the CV, statements and letters in a promotion dossier and shows, area by area, what the documents support under the criteria your school has written, with the passages behind each conclusion. Your committee decides.

In development with a faculty affairs office

Advance committee view, previewed with a fictional candidate.

The same reading for every candidate.

Every dossier is read against the same written criteria, this year and next, whoever sits on the committee.

About the documents, not the person.

Each area reads “Supported by the documents” or “Not yet supported,” with the passages behind it, so members read before they decide.

Hard calls go to people.

When your criteria don’t settle a question, Advance says so and asks the committee instead of guessing.

How it works

Your criteria, applied the same way to every dossier.

01

Load your criteria

Your school’s written promotion criteria, by track and rank, set up with your faculty affairs office. Configured, never hard-coded.

02

Every dossier read

CV, statements and letters are read against those criteria. Each conclusion links to the passage that supports it.

03

Your committee decides

Advance never recommends promotion. It prepares the evidence; your committee and chair decide.

Before and during review

Useful to candidates before the dossier goes in, and to committees after.

Candidates and mentors

Know where you stand.

A readiness view before submission: which criteria the documents already support, and where more evidence would help.

Committees and chairs

One screen per candidate.

The open questions listed first, every conclusion one click from its passage, and a record of how each question was decided.

A low-risk start

Begin with dossiers you’ve already decided.

A look-back pilot runs Advance on past dossiers your committee has already voted on, so you can see how it reads your criteria before it touches a live cycle.
