The Promotion Case File
You will do about two hundred things this year. At review time you will remember six, and four of them will be from the last month. The famous fix is a brag document — this one is built to survive being abandoned.

What’s inside
- Seven connected databases: Wins, Competencies, Stakeholders, Review Cycles, Narratives, Reusable Lines, and The Case.
- Twenty-second capture — one line and a link is a valid entry — with the detail prompts sitting right there while you still know the answers.
- A decay note on every incomplete win that gets more honest as it ages, so you know which gaps are still worth chasing.
- Your own company's competency ladder pasted in verbatim, with uncovered competencies going red weeks before the panel finds them.
- Four AI prompt blocks, including one that turns twelve months of wins plus your rubric into a first-draft self-review that names your weakest competency.
Who this is for
The stakeholder view has a worst row that is always the same shape: somebody who helps decide your case and has never been tagged on a single win. The system shows you that months early, while there is still time to fix it.
Every piece of evidence gets written once and reused four times — self-review, promotion packet, CV bullet, interview story — instead of being rebuilt from scratch every year.
