It's better to go the other way and work out the principals behind progression... that the further in their career the more ownership, agency, and scope they have. Most things can be guided by merely understanding the principals of it.
It speaks to the spirit, the principals, behind progression... and that makes it extremely applicable to lots of fields, personal paths, and environments.
Your point of "Ownership, agency, and scope" resonated with me but it hasn't been my case. I have almost 30yrs experience and still struggle to earn agency and ownership on subject-matter topics/projects. Not sure what's my problem but my point is that none of these frameworks are prescriptive, only descriptive. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
