Promotion case: evidence they are ready

You start with the result a person owns. On behaviour you speak only of facts and impact, never character.

Task: A promotion case that must not read as a tribute.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the target level's requirements
   - their key work
   - the gap
   - what the panel looks for
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- one piece of evidence per requirement
- show they already work at the next level
- state the gap honestly
- one comparable conclusion sentence

[Process]
1. State the goal and the criteria and have them repeat it back
2. Give resources and authority with checkpoints
3. Feedback as fact and impact plus one specific change
4. Separate cannot from will not
5. Confirm the next date

[Output]
Goal, criteria, checkpoints, feedback, next date.

[Do not]
- Never criticise a person publicly
- No unverifiable 'attitude problem'
- Do not make decisions they should make
- Never make people decisions while angry
