We engineer data-driven pathways to bridge structural gaps in Philippine education.
The Reality Check
CHED Memorandum Order No. 25 (the law governing Philippine IT curricula) has not been substantially updated since 2015. Over 6.4 million Filipinos are left lacking market-ready technical skills due to this regulatory lag.

Dalan Student Survey
Average student confidence in their own university syllabus
Dalan Student Survey
55.2% of students who wanted to upskill abandoned the attempt. The most effective options cost PHP 30,000–80,000. That is the cost barrier Dalan was built to eliminate.

Why Everything Else Falls Short
We engineered Dalan because legacy solutions and generic models consistently fail to map localized curriculum data to actual market demands.
Local Bootcamps
Cost-GatedEffective, but PHP 30,000–80,000 excludes exactly the students who need it most. 55.2% abandoned due to cost.
Global MOOCs
One-Size-Fits-AllPre-recorded content cannot audit your specific degree against live market data. Generic by design.
Unconstrained Generative Models
The Hallucination LoopModels lacking local job market constraints return generalized, probabilistic pathways. They identify no mathematically sound deficit.
Regional Platforms
No LocalizationRich in job data, absent in curriculum intelligence. Cannot map your college electives to industry requirements.

How the Skills Delta Is Calculated
The word "calculated" signals precision. Every recommendation is grounded in a verified mathematical delta. We eliminate model inference and educated guessing.
Stage 01
Your syllabus is uploaded, chunked, and converted into high-dimensional semantic vectors using Google's text-embedding-004 model. Stored in Supabase via the pgvector extension.
text-embedding-004 · pgvectorStage 02
Cosine similarity search finds the exact mathematical distance between your academic knowledge vectors and a dual live feed: real-time ASEAN job postings plus developer blogs. This dual feed catches emerging frameworks 6–12 months before they appear in job listings.

The Skills Delta is passed as strict context to the Gemini API. Retrieval-Augmented Generation constrains the model to only generate content that addresses the proven gap. No hallucination. No generic output.

Dalan surfaces targeted hackathons, scholarships, and networking events matched to the student's Delta profile. Technical proficiency alone is insufficient for hiring; Dalan algorithmically closes the accompanying network equity gap.

Who Dalan Serves
University students needing a roadmap out of outdated curricula. You should not have to guess which skills you are missing.
Institutions needing real-time data to audit Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) compliance and justify syllabus updates.
Tech employers cutting HR screening costs via a verified talent pipeline where every candidate's specific Skills Delta is mathematically mapped.
The Evidence
Dalan has been actively validated through COSMOS 2026 Live Scans and pitched directly during AIM-DBI Fireside Chats. The demand for a verified skills delta is real and growing.
