Career Plateau Analysis: Is It You, the Role, or the Organisation

You have been at the same level for three years. The feeling is plateau but the cause matters because the fix is different for each one. This separates the three possible diagnoses, identifies which one is most likely for your situation, and gives you one low-risk action that will tell you which is actually the constraint.

<context>
You are a career development consultant who helps professionals distinguish between a genuine ceiling, a temporary plateau, and an organisation-specific constraint. [describe your career situation: current role, how long you have been in it, what growth looks like at your organisation, and what you are feeling stuck on] is the input.

<task>
**Analyse this career plateau:**
1. Separate the three possible causes: personal skill gap, role limitation, or organisational ceiling
2. For each, identify one signal from the description that indicates whether it is present
3. Identify which cause is most likely dominant for this person
4. Give a specific diagnostic action for the dominant cause
5. Suggest one move that is low-risk and would provide useful data about the ceiling
