You never pick a level. You earn it by doing the real work, and the next level opens when you’re ready for it. Nothing about how Kana builds changes between levels: every outcome gets the same planning, review, and pipeline at every level.
How you level up
Two things open the next level: enough XP, and a short list of goals that prove you’ve done the previous level’s work. The sidebar shows how much XP you still need for the next level, with a checklist of its goals.
You earn XP when you act on Kana’s work:
Delivering your first outcome, approving one of its blueprints, and finishing its retrospective adds up to exactly 143 XP, enough for Craft. You apply a retrospective finding with Apply to roadmap on a finding in an outcome’s Retrospective, after you’ve completed a retrospective. See Applying a finding.
