Try it: the guidance changes with the score

Agree the gaps before results go out

You and the person you reviewed see differences side by side, add context and settle them first. The conversation starts from shared facts.

  • Side-by-side scores
  • A note on every gap
  • Nothing released until you are done

Turn every gap into a goal your team owns

A gap becomes a goal in one click, with a suggested starting point and a progress history that carries into the next review.

  • Goals that link back to the gap
  • Check-ins that take a minute
  • Progress you can point to next cycle
Before you sit down

What is your next conversation about?

Pick one. See what you walk in with.

A review season, before and after

Priya’s review season

  1. Before the cycle
    Rebuilding last year’s notes from memory
    Skill history is already there

    Past scores, guidance and goals sit in one place, ready when the cycle opens.

  2. While scoring
    “Meets expectations” with no reason
    A score per skill, with guidance for each level

    Dynamic guidance shows what each score means as you pick it, so two managers score the same work the same way.

  3. Before the conversation
    Surprises in the review meeting
    Gaps agreed before anything is released

    You and the person you reviewed see differences side by side, add a note, and settle them first.

  4. After release
    Feedback that fades by February
    Gaps become goals with a progress history

    Each gap turns into a goal you both can see, and progress is logged as it happens.

Fair by construction

You make the call. The process keeps it fair.

You make the call

You score and you decide. Pointed Performance gives you guidance and structure, not a verdict.

The same yardstick for every manager

Guidance and wording are shared, so a score means the same thing in every team.

Nothing lands as a surprise

Gaps are agreed with your team before results are released.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers

Do I see my team’s results first?

No. Results are held until the alignment step is done and the cycle is released to everyone.

What if we disagree on a score?

That is what the alignment step is for. You both see the gap, add a note, and agree what the score means.

Can I give feedback on the questions?

Questions come from your template. People & HR can edit it, and each change creates a new version.

How much time does this add to my review season?

Less than it saves. Guidance removes the guessing, and preparation is already done by the time you sit down.

Can I see how my team has grown over time?

Yes. Skill history shows each person’s skills across cycles, and goals keep their own progress history.

Do I have to set goals for every gap?

No. A gap can become a goal in one click, but you and your team choose which ones are worth it.
