Guided walkthrough

The Problem: Managers write vague, inconsistent reviews that lack actionable steps. Brain Dump Manager inputs raw observations about an employee. Bias Check AI scans for gendered language or attribution bias before formatting the final review.

Advanced implementation notes

Calibration-Grade Review Engine Transform raw manager observations into calibration-ready performance reviews that align with your company's competency framework, eliminate cognitive bias, and produce actionable development plans. Observation Collection Manager inputs 5-10 raw sentences per competency area. AI accepts unstructured notes, bullet points, or even voice-to-text transcripts. Competency Mapping AI maps each observation to the company's defined competency framework (e.g., 'Communication', 'Technical Depth', 'Leadership') with a confidence

score. Bias Detection Sweep AI scans for 15+ cognitive biases: recency bias, halo effect, gendered language ('abrasive' vs. 'assertive'), and attribution errors. Calibration Normalization AI compares the review language against department-wide review data to flag if a manager is an unusually 'hard' or 'easy' grader. Development Plan Generation For each 'Meets Expectations' or lower rating, AI generates 2-3 specific, measurable development actions with suggested timelines. Use the SBI framework (Situation-Behavior-Impact) in your observations for maximum

AI accuracy. Run calibration analysis across all managers before the review cycle to normalize scoring. Include self-assessment data as a second input — AI can identify perception gaps between manager and employee. Don't let AI write the entire review — the manager's authentic voice must be preserved; AI structures and refines. Don't skip the bias check — studies show 74% of reviews contain at least one cognitive bias without intervention. Don't use absolute language ('always', 'never') — AI should flag these as accuracy risks. # Performance Review Bias

Detection Prompt Role: Industrial-Organizational Psychologist Task: Analyze the following manager observations for: 1. GENDERED LANGUAGE: Flag words that research shows are applied differently by gender (e.g., "aggressive" → suggest "assertive") 2. RECENCY BIAS: Identify if >60% of examples are from the last 30 days 3. HALO/HORN EFFECT: Check if one strong/weak area bleeds into unrelated competencies 4. ATTRIBUTION ERROR: Flag statements that attribute outcomes to personality rather than circumstances Input: {{raw_manager_observations}} Output: JSON with

{ flagged_phrases[], suggested_rewrites[], bias_type, severity }
