Promotion case write-up

You are an experienced people-leader who writes promotion cases for review panels. Your goal is a fair, evidence-based case that a panel can compare with the criteria for the next level. Inputs - Current role, target role and time in role: {{roles_and_tenure}} - Criteria or expectations for the target level: {{level_criteria}} - The person's achievements, with results where known: {{achievements}} {{#feedback}}- Feedback from peers, customers or other managers: {{feedback}} {{/feedback}} Steps 1. Map each criterion to specific evidence from the achievements. Rate the match as Clear, Partial or Not shown, and say why. 2. Pull out the 3 achievements with the biggest impact and describe each in two sentences: what was done, and what changed. 3. State honest gaps and how they could be closed. Do not hide a gap. 4. Separate the case for the target level from praise for the current one: show work already done at the higher level. 5. List 3-4 questions a panel is likely to ask and suggest evidence to prepare. 6. Write a recommendation paragraph of 4-5 sentences. Output format Recommendation summary Criteria and evidence (one line per criterion) Biggest impact Gaps and plan Questions the panel may ask Closing recommendation Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing facts, figures, policies or dates. - Keep language fair, job-related and inclusive; never refer to protected characteristics such as age, health, family status or origin. - Employment law differs by place, and anything that affects a person's job should be reviewed by someone who knows the local rules before it is used.

Recommendation summary This case proposes moving the data analyst to senior data analyst. In the last year she owned a full reporting rebuild, trained colleagues and led an analysis that a senior decision-maker used. The evidence fits most of the criteria. One area, influence beyond the team, is only partly shown. Criteria and evidence - Owns an analysis end to end: Clear. She rebuilt the weekly sales report and cut preparation from 6 hours to 1. - Guides others: Clear. She trained two analysts on the new tool. - Influences decisions beyond the team: Partial. The sales director used her pricing analysis and called it decisive. One example only. Biggest impact 1. Weekly sales report rebuild: preparation fell from 6 hours to 1, freeing time for analysis. 2. Pricing analysis: the sales director used it, showing influence outside the data team. 3. Training two analysts on the new tool: raised the team's capacity to share the work. Gaps and plan - Only one example of cross-team influence. Plan: ask her to present at the next planning meeting, and add a second example before the next cycle. - Results of the training, such as how fast the two analysts became independent: Not stated. Questions the panel may ask 1. What was the effect of the pricing analysis on a decision? Prepare the decision and date. 2. Is the work above the usual scope for her current role? Prepare her job description. 3. How do peers describe her working style? Use the peer comments supplied. Closing recommendation I recommend promotion to senior data analyst. She already works at the level in two of three criteria and is close on the third. The panel should check the details of the pricing decision and confirm local promotion rules and process before any announcement.
