Employee Review Prep Worksheet

Use with Prepping Your Own Performance Review With AI, Without Inventing Evidence.

Step 1: Raw evidence (fill this in yourself, before using AI)

Project / task	What happened	Metric or outcome (only if you can verify it)	Source (email, dashboard, ticket, message)

Feedback received this period (quote or paraphrase, with date and source):

Step 2: Organize by review category

For each of your company’s actual review categories, list only evidence from the table above. Leave empty if nothing fits — do not fill with invented material.

Review category	Evidence that fits (from above)

Step 3: Draft language check

For each paragraph AI helps you draft, confirm:

Every number matches what I listed in Step 1 exactly.
Every project name and outcome is real and traceable to a source.
No adjective (“significant,” “major,” “substantial”) was added unless I used it myself.
Nothing was added to fill an otherwise-empty category.

Step 4: Final verification pass

For each claim in the finished draft, answer: can I point to the source right now?

If yes: keep it.
If no: soften it to what you know for certain, or remove it.

Disclosure
