/ Use case · Honest performance reports

Reports you can trust.
Data, not a verdict.

Most performance tools invent a number and call it truth. Compass reports in bands, shows what changed and where errors are, cites the real signal behind every line, and never fabricates a score. It shows the data — you make the call.

Bands not scores — no fabricated metrics, no single grade. Every line cites its real signal source. You make the call.

/ 01   Bands, not scores

A report card
that tells the truth.

Each dimension in a Compass report is shown as a band — Exploring, Building, or Solid — derived from real usage signals with a note on what the measure covers and what it doesn’t. No invented composite score. No percentage masking uncertainty.

The report is a starting point for a conversation, not a conclusion. What you do with it is your decision.

Team capability snapshot — Q2 2026

AI tool adoption Building

Based on: session frequency, feature adoption rate across 4 connected tools. Does not measure task quality or output.

Focus & task completion Solid

Based on: task close rate vs open rate over 4-week window. Does not measure task difficulty or strategic value.

Collaboration signals Exploring

Based on: calendar overlap, shared task participation. Does not measure quality of collaboration or interpersonal dynamics.

Illustrative data. Sample report card for demonstration. Real outputs cite the exact signal source for every line. Bands are aggregate — not individual.

What changed — errors & corrections

Asana task attribution gap
4 completed tasks were unattributed in the Apr 15–22 window due to integration sync lag. Corrected in v3 snapshot.
Corrected
Calendar signal gap — 3 days
Google Calendar OAuth lapsed May 1–3. Collaboration signal for that period is provisional and flagged.
Provisional
Focus band shift: +1 (Exploring → Building)
Task close rate rose from 38% to 61% over 6 weeks. Band advanced on 3-snapshot confirmation. Growth-framed, not punitive.
Building

What to focus first

Reconnect Google Calendar OAuth to restore collaboration signal confidence.
Build on Focus band progress — structured sprint closure practice could cement the gain.
/ 02   Errors surfaced honestly

Gaps and corrections
labelled, not hidden.

When a data source lapses, a sync gap occurs, or an earlier inference was wrong, Compass surfaces it explicitly — labelled provisional or corrected, never silently overwritten. Every error that gets corrected is part of the visible record.

Progress is shown in a growth frame: band advances are drawn from real signals across at least three snapshots. The intent is direction, not a verdict on performance.

/ What Compass is not

Honest about
what it doesn’t do.

Not a single grade or percentile
Compass does not produce an overall performance score, a grade of A–F, or a percentile rank for any team or person. Those single numbers mask more than they reveal.
Not a hire / fire / pay verdict
Compass reports are decision-support inputs. No output from Compass constitutes or justifies an employment, compensation, or disciplinary decision on its own.
Doesn’t fabricate metrics
Every band and every signal in a Compass report is derived from a real, named data source. If a source is unavailable or provisional, the report says so explicitly — it does not fill in with estimated numbers.
Doesn’t grade the person — it shows the work
Compass shows what the usage signals indicate about patterns of work — tool adoption, task completion, calendar presence. It does not attempt to judge character, effort, potential, or worth.

Bands, not scores — no fabricated metrics, no single grade or percentile. Every line cites its real signal source. Errors are labelled and corrected in the visible record. Compass shows the data; you make every call.
