# Career Arc (life timeline)

`GET /api/trpc/user.careerArc`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.asktian.com`
- URL: `https://api.asktian.com/api/trpc/user.careerArc`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

One person's whole working life as dated windows, birth → ~90 (taxonomy arc-1): decades (career/wealth emphasis per luck period, phase enum shared with cde-1, theme enum shared with forecast-1), milestones (careerStartWindow, leadershipWindow, careerPeaks, wealthPeaks, windDown or staysActiveLate), lifetime promotionWindows[], dangerYears[] (clash + Tai Sui hold-steady years) and a guaranteed never-dead-end nextWindow at any age. Deterministic per birth input; asOf affects only status flags. Window language, never point predictions; child charts get education-first framing. OMITTED GENDER DISCLOSED (genderAssumption): the decade direction underneath the timing layer is the male assumption when gender is omitted — a female chart's decades run the other way; the marker is absent when gender was supplied. Seeker-facing self-insight — per the API terms never employer screening input. Full contract: docs/CAREER-ARC-API.md.

Cost: 30 TIAN Points per call. tRPC procedure `user.careerArc`.
