Review rubric

Score the bench and succession package before the talent review. Ten criteria, 10 points each. Ship at 90 or above with no criterion below 7.

#	Criterion	10	7	4
1	Critical-role coverage	All critical roles named by the 90-day test, including the leader's own; 18-to-24-month horizon scan done	Horizon scan missing	Roles chosen by title or seniority
2	Bench scoring	Depth, readiness, single point of failure, and risk for every role; aggregate score with critical-role count	Aggregate only	No scoring
3	Single points of failure	Each one has relationships, knowledge, and capability capture with dates	Identified, not addressed	Not identified
4	Performance evidence	Results, quality, and how, over four quarters where available	Results only	Impressions
5	Potential evidence	Four signals with evidence; at least three present for any rating; can and will separated	Two signals	Potential by feel
6	Readiness calls	Every successor called against the evidence standard, with stretch-assignment tests; external candidates held to the four-dimension standard	Calls without tests, or external readiness inferred from title and scale	No calls
7	Talent review discipline	Independent pre-ratings; bias checks run aloud; sponsorship check; decisions with owners and dates	Ratings collected, bias checks skipped	Group consensus decides
8	Succession plans	Interim, short-term, permanent, and external trigger for each critical role	Successor only	No plans
9	Development and retention	Dated development action per successor; people outgrowing roles flagged with next challenge	Actions without dates	Names on a slide
10	Measurement and cadence	Three-tier measures, quarterly cadence, and post-departure reviews	Measures without cadence	None
