The performance review, rebuilt around the conversation.
Manager and employee each prepare independently
with AI guidance, then meet already knowing
where they agree, where they differ, and why.
Informal feedback works until it doesn’t.
Small companies run on informal feedback. Growing companies can’t. Performance needs a shared understanding of what matters, not more paperwork.
Growth gets messy
Expectations get harder to explain and harder to evaluate consistently.
Managers vary
Some managers give thoughtful feedback. Others avoid hard conversations.
Reviews lose trust
A shallow, unfair, or surprising review changes how employees see the company.
Performance management
built for results, not records
commonground guides both sides to a shared understanding of performance, so the review ends in direction, not documentation.
The shift from documentation to execution.
