Output Return a people systems audit with scopeandsafeguards, loopmap, evidencequality, feedbackandconsequences, managerstewardship, fairnessandexceptions, and priorityrepair.
Hiring Signal Scorecard
Use this workflow when an open role needs a scorecard before interviews that converts outcomes, situations, judgment, and risks into observable evidence, disqualifying conditions, interviewer ownership, structured collection, and a fair decision rubric.
Output Return a hiring evidence system with roleoutcomesandsituations, evidencemarkers, nonevidence, scorecard, interviewownership, debriefprotocol, and validationloop.
Performance System Review
Use this workflow when expectations, feedback, performance concerns, improvement support, consequences, or manager follow-through are vague, delayed, surprising, documentation-first, inconsistent, or disconnected from observable work and behavior change.
Output Return a performance and feedback system with expectation, evidencerecord, feedbackloop, diagnosis, decisionnote, fairnesscheck, and followup.
Promotion Calibration Brief
Use this workflow when promotion, rating, recognition, or other consequential people decisions need portable standards, prepared evidence packets, counter-evidence, consistent context, explicit authority, and protection from reputation, visibility, manager advocacy, and political comparison.
Output Return a people decision calibration brief with decisionandstandard, evidencepacket, excludedclaims, barassessment, consistencyandfairness, decisionrecord, and systempatterns.
Talent Bar Definition
Use this workflow when a role family or team needs one observable standard connecting role definition, hiring, onboarding, performance, feedback, promotion, manager stewardship, tolerated misses, and exits rather than relying on values, adjectives, or talent-density slogans.
Output Return a talent bar system with rolefamilyloop, observablebar, evidenceandnonevidence, decisionledger, standarddebt, alignedmechanisms, and stewardshipreview.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
