Scoring guide
Reference for what each score means in each category. Pull this up while scoring - it's the source of truth for the rubric.
Delivery
Does the work get done well and on time?
- 5Outstanding
Sets the delivery standard. Ships compounding work that unblocks others and shortens future cycles.
- 4Strong
Consistently delivers ahead of need with quality that needs minimal review. Lifts the team's bar.
- 3Meets expectations
Hits commitments at the agreed quality. Surfaces risks early when slips are coming.
- 2Below expectations
Misses deadlines without warning; quality bar inconsistent enough to affect downstream work.
- 1Concerning
Work routinely missed, delivered broken, or required rework that derailed the team.
Reliability
Can you count on them?
- 5Outstanding
The first person you'd trust with anything ambiguous, urgent, or high-stakes.
- 4Strong
Closes loops without prompting. Owns issues end-to-end and follows through past handoff.
- 3Meets expectations
Does what they say they'll do. You can plan against their commitments.
- 2Below expectations
Honors most commitments but you find yourself double-checking before depending on them.
- 1Concerning
Can't be relied on for time-sensitive work; commitments drift without notice.
Communication
Is communication clear, timely, and professional?
- 5Outstanding
Raises the team's communication game. People copy how they write updates or run discussions.
- 4Strong
Communicates proactively with the right level of detail; reads the room and adjusts.
- 3Meets expectations
Clear, timely, professional. Status is visible without you chasing it.
- 2Below expectations

- 1Concerning
Communication is missing, late, or unclear enough to create rework or misalignment.
Collaboration
How do they work with the team - yours and Talzy's?
- 5Outstanding
Cultural multiplier. The team is materially stronger because they're on it.

Actively makes others better - pairs, mentors, jumps into help mode without being asked.
- 3Meets expectations
Plays well with your team and the Talzy side. Easy to include in cross-functional work.
- 2Below expectations
Works alongside the team but doesn't really move with them; siloed.
- 1Concerning
Friction with the team you can feel; collaboration is transactional or strained.
Growth & Initiative
Are they growing - and proactive about it?
- 5Outstanding
Compounding growth - measurably operating at a higher level than they were 6 months ago.
- 4Strong
Driving their own development; you can point to a concrete skill that has stepped up this quarter.
- 3Meets expectations
Steadily improving. Picks up feedback and applies it within a reasonable cycle.
- 2Below expectations
Some growth but mostly reactive; takes prompting to stretch.
- 1Concerning
No visible growth; same patterns and same gaps as months ago.
