# Xcademia X-Ray — Skills Diagnostic Assessment

> Xcademia X-Ray is an adaptive, evidence-based skills diagnostic. It maps a learner — or an entire team — against a defined competency framework in around 30 minutes, then prescribes a precise training pathway.

## What X-Ray is

X-Ray is an AI-driven question engine that runs a domain-aware, sharded pipeline against the candidate's chosen subject — cybersecurity, cloud, AI, data, networking, business, or any of the 12 Xcademia academies. Each question is generated against the latest market knowledge so the assessment never goes stale.

Outputs include:

- A capability score per topic and per subtopic
- A red-amber-green skills heatmap
- A prescribed training pathway with specific Xcademia courses
- For teams: a roll-up dashboard with anonymised individual scores
