Open the companion tool →Why provenance beats argument
A review drafted from system data answers a question you did not ask: it summarizes what was recorded, not what you did. Records miss the work that happens outside the tool — the escalation you handled, the colleague you trained, the quarter you covered a vacancy — and a summary of an incomplete record reads like a judgment about you.
Asking for the basis is ordinary and hard to refuse. Three questions cover most of it: what information was used, who reviewed it before it reached me, and how do I request a correction. The reply also tells you whether a person actually read the work, which matters if the rating later feeds a pay decision, a level change, or a termination.
The protocol
- Save the review exactly as you received it, with the date. If it lives only in a portal, export or capture it before it changes.
- Split the document into three columns: factual claims you can check, opinions, and conclusions about pay, level, or future.
- List the work the record could not have seen, with dates and, where possible, a name who can confirm it.
- Ask in writing, calmly and specifically: what information was used to draft this, who reviewed it before it was given to me, and how do I request a correction?
- Ask for one concrete change — a corrected sentence, an added project, an amended rating — rather than a general reconsideration.
- Keep the reply. If the rating later supports a pay, promotion, or termination decision, that dated exchange is the record showing you asked.
What the tool does
A concise review request with dates, constraints, and supporting records. The tool stores nothing and sends nothing.
Limit first: This is a practical preparation aid, not legal, financial, or emergency advice. It cannot verify facts, contact anyone, or guarantee a result. Procedures vary by provider and jurisdiction.

Check your contract, local rules, and workplace process; this tool is not legal advice. Keep a copy of the records and ask the relevant official, qualified person for case-specific guidance.
Research log and safety checks
AI-assist path: not used for a verdict. The artifact is a dated request and the employer's reply; a generated summary of a review would be weaker evidence than the document itself and would hide what it inferred (§1.2 UIC-10). §6.9 disclosed: summarizing the review is exactly the capability the reader should not depend on here, because the provenance of the summary is the dispute. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic — no company's safety commitments or capability claims are cited, and nothing in this entry takes a position on whether employers should use these tools. This new dispatch is a preparation aid, not a detector or a guarantee; verify current procedures with the named official source before acting.
§0.5 protection result: category is job-skill-disruption; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
