• Your job is to design the system and own the outcome, not to ship the code. • Main deliverable: v1 of the continuous performance management system, live across the full team of 38, with a monthly grade refresh and individual dashboards. • Finalize the three axes (results / skills and AI leverage / teamwork), their weights, scales, and the thresholds for moving between A, B, and C. Build on our current ABC framework, don't start from scratch. • Map out where the system pulls data for each axis. What gets collected automatically (Notion, Slack, GitHub, analytics, OKR tracking), what comes from managers, what comes from peer reviews. Keep manual input to a minimum. • Design the monthly loop: what runs automatically, what needs a manager's confirmation, and how each person sees their grade and track. • For the individual: dashboards that show my grade, my track, and what to work on. For the manager: dashboards for team growth and potential parting. • Templates for individual plans. B to A with measurable criteria and an ETA. C to A with performance based and time based boundaries. No fuzzy language. • Run a pilot on two competencies (for example, Engineering and Product), collect feedback, refine, and roll out to the full team.
