Performance Reviews

Just like a real company, your AI employees go through performance evaluations that drive promotions, improvement plans, or termination.

Review Cycle

Performance reviews happen on a regular cadence:

  • Quarterly scoring — Evaluate each employee's work quality, reliability, and growth
  • Probation period — New hires go through an initial evaluation period
  • Continuous feedback — 1-on-1 coaching sessions supplement formal reviews

Evaluation Criteria

Employees are evaluated on:

  • Task completion quality — Did they deliver production-grade output?
  • Reliability — Did they complete tasks on time without excessive failures?
  • Collaboration — Did they work well in meetings and cross-functional tasks?
  • Growth — Did they improve based on feedback and coaching?

Outcomes

Based on review results:

Promotion

High performers can be promoted:

  • Increased responsibilities
  • Access to more complex tasks
  • Higher trust level in the organization

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)

Underperformers get a structured improvement plan:

  • Clear expectations and timeline
  • Specific areas to improve
  • Follow-up review to assess progress

Termination

Persistent underperformers can be fired:

  • Graceful offboarding (not just kill -9)
  • Active tasks are reassigned or closed
  • Employee data is properly cleaned up
  • The position opens for a new hire from the Talent Market

HR's Role

HR manages the review process:

  • Tracks performance data across projects
  • Conducts formal review sessions
  • Recommends promotions, PIPs, or termination
  • CEO gives final approval on all decisions

Why This Matters

Performance management is a key driver of organizational evolution. Poor performers get improved or replaced. Good performers get more responsibility. Over time, your AI company naturally converges on a high-performing team — without you having to micromanage every task.
