Promotion dossier evidence checker
Stop matching your CV to criteria by hand.
Upload your dossier PDFs, select your criteria set, and get a line-level gap report in minutes. DossierMap does the cross-referencing. You review the results.
Teaching domain mapped to CV lines 118-121 and cover letter page 2
Mentorship record supported by CV lines 84-91 with named outcomes
Regional leadership has activity evidence but no outcome citations
Committee service listed but scope not distinguished from routine duties
National reputation criterion has no selected-scope source
How it works
Three steps. No manual line matching.
Step 01
Select your criteria set
Choose institution, school, track, and rank. DossierMap loads the exact criteria rows before any document analysis begins, so every match is against a known standard.
Step 02
Upload your PDFs
Add your line-numbered CV, cover letter, and any supplemental materials. The preflight check validates line numbers and page references before processing starts.
Step 03
Review the gap report
Every criterion gets a strength rating with traced source lines. Possible matches stay in review and do not populate the export automatically. You decide what counts.
Most urgent timing
The 6-8 week window is where most gaps get caught too late.
A complete dossier takes months to assemble. Committees flag missing evidence in days. DossierMap is most useful when you still have time to address gaps, not after submission.
Start your gap checkMost urgent
6-8 weeks before submission
Enough time to gather missing evidence, strengthen weak claims, and restructure cover letter framing. This is where DossierMap has the most impact.
Still useful
3-5 weeks out
Gap report is still actionable. Some criteria may be harder to address fully, but the map clarifies where to focus limited remaining time.
Verification only
Final review pass
Use as a completeness check before submission. No time to add evidence, but the report confirms what is and is not supported across the full criteria set.
For departments
Faculty affairs and department leaders review dozens of dossiers. Not one.
Most of the friction in promotion review happens before the committee ever meets. Dossiers arrive inconsistently prepared. Reviewers spend time reconstructing evidence trails that should already be mapped.
DossierMap gives faculty affairs offices a consistent evidence baseline across every candidate, without requiring central staff to manually cross-reference each submission.
- Criteria-mapped gap reports for every submission before committee review
- Consistent evidence framing across tracks and ranks
- Reduced back-and-forth requesting missing documentation
- Candidate-facing tool that reduces submission errors at source

Conservative by design
Is it appropriate to use a tool like this?
Using DossierMap is no different from asking a mentor to help you cross-reference your CV against the promotion rubric. Except it does the cross-referencing in minutes instead of hours.

Privacy
Uploaded documents are sent to an LLM API for evidence matching. They are processed for analysis only and are not used for model training. Documents are not retained after your session ends.
Production DossierMap will add encrypted storage, configurable retention periods, deletion controls, minimal logging, and a plain-language no-training policy before accepting institutional dossiers.
