Self-Review Kit
Nobody remembers your year. Write the file the decision is made from — evidence first, form second.
What it is
Your own performance review, treated as an evidence file rather than a request for credit. Walks the year backwards out of the calendar and sent folder, converts activity into outcomes with numbers and constraints, chooses the failure deliberately rather than at random, and makes the development ask grantable. Leaves the rating conversation, the file that wins the argument eleven months on, and the protocol for the review that never comes. For employees whose year will be summarised by someone who saw a fraction of it.
What you receive
your own performance review written so it is worth reading — the evidence walked out of the calendar and sent folder first, each achievement stated as outcome, number and your own contribution under its constraint, one failure chosen deliberately and closed with what changed, a development ask precise enough to be granted or refused, and a version that survives a reader who was not there, closing with the rating conversation, the file that carries the promotion argument, and the protocol for the review that never comes
