The Problem

The real cost of broken
performance processes

Inconsistent ratings across partners, opaque bonus decisions, and spreadsheets that don't scale.

⚖

Rater Inconsistency

Partner A rates generously, Partner B is strict. Without calibration, ratings say more about the evaluator than the employee.

📊

Spreadsheet Chaos

Dozens of Excel files, emailed back and forth, manually consolidated. One formula error can misallocate thousands in bonuses.

😶

Opaque Bonus Logic

Employees don't understand how ratings translate to compensation. This drives top talent out the door.

Evaluator Bias & Reliability

Automatically detect which evaluators rate systematically high or low. Normalize scores before they affect bonuses.

  • Delta-to-firm-average reveals leniency and strictness bias
  • Standard deviation flags inconsistent raters across projects
  • Color-coded bias signals: high-rater, low-rater, neutral
  • One-click normalization adjusts all scores for fair comparison
