AI Adoption Score — max 100
Same formula for all roles — AI adoption is expected equally from everyone.
| AI commit ratio × 0.40 | max 40 pts |
| PRs with AI commit × 0.30 | max 30 pts |
|
| Tool bonus — Claude | +20 pts |
| Tool bonus — Copilot | +10 pts |
| Tool bonus — Cursor / other | +0 pts |
|
| Trend bonus (+2 to −2 scale) | max 10 pts |
trend_bonus = (trend + 2) / 4 × 10
Velocity Score — max 100
ICs are rewarded more for shipping code — Managers more for reviewing and unblocking others.
| Sub-weights vary by role |
| Component | IC | Manager |
|---|
| PRs merged / mo ÷ 40 | 35 pts | 20 pts |
| PRs reviewed / mo ÷ 60 | 30 pts | 45 pts |
| Review speed (P75 h, target 4h) | 20 pts | 20 pts |
| Approval rate % | 15 pts | 15 pts |
speed = (1 − (p75h − 4) / 44) × w_speed, clamped [0, w_speed]
approval = (rate / 100) × w_approval
Engineering Excellence Score
ICs are judged more on AI adoption — Managers more on velocity (especially review contribution).
| Weighted average of AI & Velocity | 0–100 |
| IC: AI weight / Velocity weight | 60 / 40 |
| Manager: AI weight / Velocity weight | 30 / 70 |
excellence = (AI × w_ai + Vel × w_vel) / (w_ai + w_vel)
Grade Scale
| A+ — elite | ≥ 90 |
| A — strong | ≥ 80 |
| B — solid | ≥ 70 |
| C — developing | ≥ 55 |
| D — early | ≥ 40 |
| F — needs focus | < 40 |
