Reviewer note: Now leads with the decision needed and the deadline; the week-1 draft buried the ask in paragraph three.
Reviewer note: Reconciles two ledgers with lookups, flags exceptions and documents each step so another analyst can rerun it.
Reviewer note: The memo now recommends one action backed by two numbers instead of describing every chart.
Reviewer note: Finishes on time with a clear structure; handled two panel questions without notes.
Every task is scored on observable behaviour. Level 3 means ready for the role.
| Dimension | 1 · Emerging | 2 · Developing | 3 · Ready | 4 · Strong |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | Needs a template and heavy edits to write a clear business email or explain their work. | Writes and speaks clearly on familiar tasks; structure slips under time pressure. | Writes correctly toned emails and gives a structured five-minute update without help. | Adjusts message and tone for senior or overseas stakeholders and handles push-back calmly. |
| Business | Describes the task but not why it matters to the business. | Links the task to a business goal when prompted. | Frames the problem, the options and a recommendation in business terms. | Weighs cost, risk and trade-offs and defends a recommendation with numbers. |
| Digital | Completes basic spreadsheet steps with guidance; uses AI output without checking it. | Uses formulas, lookups and AI tools on routine tasks; checks some of the output. | Builds a correct, reconciled spreadsheet or dashboard and verifies AI-assisted work. | Automates a recurring task and documents it so someone else can run it. |
| Specialist | Knows the role vocabulary but cannot yet complete a role task. | Completes a guided role task with several reviewer corrections. | Completes a standard role task to reviewer standard with one redo or fewer. | Handles a non-standard role task alone and explains the approach. |
| Global | Struggles to follow written instructions from an overseas stakeholder. | Understands requests; replies are correct but slow or overly literal. | Writes status reports and replies an overseas stakeholder can act on first time. | Runs a cross-time-zone call or escalation with a clear agenda and follow-up. |
