Who's at highest succession risk right now?
Data & Technology Lead needs attention. There's no ready successor. Oliver Grant is closest at 72% fit; I'd start a development plan and cross-skill in solution architecture.
The problem

Payroll tells you who you employ.
Not what they can do.

Most growing businesses run their people on a payroll system, a pile of spreadsheets and the owner's memory. You can see who's employed and what they're paid, but not where your real capability sits, which gaps put delivery at risk, or who's ready for the next role. Sorakan turns that fog into a clear, current picture you can act on.

Where's our biggest skills gap?
Cloud & DevOps has 3 of 8 engineers below target. I'd prioritise two for certification this quarter.

Know who's ready and who's at risk

Most nine-box reviews are guesswork. People get placed by opinion, and the answer changes with who's in the room. Sorakan's engine makes it objective: it continuously reads the signals across your capability data to surface each person's performance and potential, and plots the grid for you. Reviews start from evidence rather than a blank canvas, and managers stay in control to adjust and sign off.

  • ✓ The engine plots it, surfacing performance and potential automatically from real evidence, not opinion
  • ✓ Objective and consistent, with one standard applied to everyone at every review
  • ✓ Configurable promotion-readiness rubric, plus succession gaps and internal mobility

FAQ

Common questions

What is Sorakan?

Sorakan is a capability intelligence platform for growing Australian businesses. It maps your team's skills in a living matrix, tracks qualifications and compliance, highlights gaps against roles, and plans succession. Its inbuilt AI assistant, Soraku, analyses your own people data and tells you what to do next.

What is a capability intelligence platform?

A capability intelligence platform gives a business a single, current picture of what its people can actually do, not just who it employs. That means their skills, proficiency, qualifications and readiness. Sorakan turns scattered spreadsheets and payroll data into an objective view you can act on for development, compliance and succession.

What is Soraku, the AI assistant?

Soraku is Sorakan's inbuilt AI assistant. It draws only on your own organisation's capability data, not the public internet, so it answers plain-English questions about your team, surfaces strengths, gaps and succession risk, and recommends the next move, like a consultant who already knows your people.

How is Sorakan's talent grid different from a normal nine-box?

Most nine-box reviews are subjective. People are placed by opinion, and the answer shifts with who's in the room. Sorakan's engine reads the signals across your capability data to surface each person's performance and potential and plots the grid automatically. Reviews start from evidence, and managers stay in control to adjust and sign off.

How much does Sorakan cost?

Sorakan starts at A$40/month for Starter (includes 10 licences; extra licences A$4 each) and A$120/month for Pro (includes 15 licences; extra A$8 each). Enterprise pricing is custom, so contact sales for a quote. Prices are in AUD, ex GST, and every plan starts with a free 14-day trial with full Pro features, no card required.

Is Sorakan built for Australian businesses?

Yes. Sorakan is Australian-built and designed for Australian workplaces, with English (en-AU), AUD pricing, and qualifications mapped to the Australian catalogue. It suits compliance-driven sectors like construction, engineering, consulting and services that must evidence their team's tickets and certificates for clients and audits.

How long does Sorakan take to set up?

Most teams are live the same afternoon. Import your people, define a few roles, and your skills matrix comes to life immediately. There's no lengthy implementation project. You can start a free trial and have a real capability picture within hours, then add depth as you go.
