performance-reviews

What problem does it solve?

Helps engineering managers diagnose underperformance, structure a clear performance case, decide on PIPs or separations, and draft manager reviews and wording so decisions are evidence-driven and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Diagnosis Workflow: Walks managers through a left-to-right diagnostic (resources, training, desire, fit, ability) to find root causes before recommending actions.
• Decision Support: Advises on whether to start a PIP, write a promotion or separation case, and provides the "relief test" and other heuristics for timely action.
• Actionable Outputs: Produces evidence checklists, concrete next steps, exact phrasing for feedback conversations, and links to source references for deeper reading.
• Use Case: Prepare for end-of-year calibration by analyzing a report's performance, collecting examples, and drafting the manager's review and suggested rating.
