Success Scorecards

Define Success Before Day One

Transform abstract responsibilities into observable, discussable success criteria across outcome, metric, milestone, and capability categories.

Quality control

AI checks without replacing manager judgment

Flags vague indicators, activity-focused metrics, and level mismatches. Every indicator preserves its source and includes space for manager notes.

First Quarter Outcomes

  • Outcome Reduce time-to-first-value by 30%
  • Milestone Ship onboarding v2 by end of Q1

Annual Outcomes

  • Metric NRR ≥ 115% in owned segment
  • Capability Lead cross-functional planning without escalation

Quality & Behavioral Standards

Collaboration results, behavioral expectations, and manager notes preserved alongside AI suggestions.

Clarity review & manager oversight

AI suggests — managers approve

Review Clarity flags indicators that are too vague, activity-focused instead of outcome-focused, or mismatched with role authority. Rewriting suggestions appear inline; manager notes are preserved as the source of truth.

Clarity check results

  • Too vague "Improve customer satisfaction" → suggest: NPS ≥ 45 in owned segment
  • Activity not outcome "Attend weekly meetings" → suggest: Drive cross-functional decisions documented in RFC
  • Level mismatch "Approve company-wide budget" → exceeds IC authority scope

Indicator with source & notes
