/ platform — 04 performance · KE

Annual reviews fail because nobody remembers March. Meridian keeps the receipts.

Run performance your way — OKRs, KPIs, 360° feedback, competency frameworks, or your own scoring model with appeals. Underneath any of them: feedback dropped in fifteen seconds, 1:1 notes that survive the calendar invite, check-ins with evidence — so the formal review is a summary of cited moments, not a memory test.

Cadence
weekly

Feedback prompts, 1:1 nudges, OKR check-ins — small, often, in-context.

Calibration
sealed

Ratings hidden across managers until the calibration call closes. No anchoring.

Moments per review
~40

Median cited moments in a formal review across our customer base last cycle.

/ the recency problem

By review time, the whole year is already on file.

One person, twelve months, four lanes. Every feedback moment, 1:1 note and OKR check-in was captured when it happened — so the H1 review cited the year, not just the last six weeks of it.

When the H1 review opened, every dot above was already there — datestamped, attributed, citable. The manager's job became summarizing the year, not reconstructing it.

/ what's inside — 06 capabilities

The mechanics behind a review cycle people trust.

Feedback in 15 seconds, not a form.

Drop a note from mobile or the employee record the moment something happens. Datestamped, citable, and surfaced automatically when the review opens.

in-contextcitable

1:1 notes that survive the calendar invite.

Agenda built by both sides, notes saved against the cadence, action items rolled forward to the next session — continuity nobody has to maintain manually.

bidirectionalrolling

OKRs, KPIs, 360° — or your own framework.

Pick the model per review cycle: quarterly OKRs, KPI scorecards, competency frameworks, 360°-only cycles, or a custom scoring model with appeals. Check-ins and roll-ups work under all of them.

per-cycleappeals built in

Calibration without anchoring.

Proposed ratings stay sealed across managers until the calibration call closes. Then one view shows the distribution with each manager's rationale inline — no separate deck.

sealed by defaultdistribution view

Growth plans, not just PIPs.

A growth plan template per level, customizable per role, owned by employee and manager together. PIPs exist when needed — they're not the only path forward.

per-leveljointly owned

Peer feedback that protects people.

Solicited from reviewers the employee names, plus a manager top-up. Anonymous to the employee, attributed to the manager — and only revealed once at least three responses are in.

/ usually asked by heads of people

The questions heads of people ask in the first call.

No. OKRs, KPIs, competency frameworks, 360°-only cycles, or your own scoring model with appeals — the review cycle is configurable, and the evidence stream works underneath any of them.

The stream model. The formal review is a summary of citable moments collected all year — not a quarterly form sent into the void. And we charge per active employee, not per module: there's no “upgrade to unlock calibration” tier.

Yes — and they are by default. Until the calibration call closes, no manager can see another manager's proposed rating. We've heard too many anchoring stories; the default protects you.

Feedback is solicited from people the employee names (with a manager top-up if needed). It's anonymous to the employee, attributed to the manager, and only revealed when at least three responses are in — so no single voice is identifiable.

Yes — ratings, OKR averages and calibration outcomes export to a single CSV that drops into your comp review, or connect via the API to your existing pay-band logic.
