Ratings driven by recency, not results
The last project your employee completed shapes their annual rating more than a full year of output.

The calibration problem
Calibration sessions run on memory, not real work
When your managers enter calibration sessions without goal data, ratings reflect who spoke up last quarter, not who delivered results.
Manager bias skews every rating conversation
Halo effect, leniency, and favoritism distort ratings when your performance integrations and calibration process stay disconnected.
No consistent standard across teams or regions
Without a shared benchmark, your top performer in one department rates lower than average in another.
How it works
How talent calibration works
Four stages that turn manager opinions into consistent, data-backed talent decisions.
Prepare
Gather goal scores, peer feedback, and self-assessments before each session.
Calibrate
Compare ratings as a group using shared OKR scores and performance evidence.
Normalize
Align rating standards across all teams and regions using shared definitions.
Develop
Convert calibration outcomes into individual development plans and promotion decisions.

OKR Module surfaces goal scores in reviews
Profit.co’s OKR Module displays each employee’s key result progress in the rating form, so managers rate from evidence, not memory.

The Self-Assessment Agent and Manager Assessment Agent draft pre-session summaries from PPM and performance data, cutting manager prep time before each session.
