Underperformance Diagnosis Framework
A 4-step system for engineering managers to diagnose an underperforming engineer — separate skill, will, and system causes, stress-test the call for bias, and produce a documented intervention plan with a PIP-readiness gate before any formal step.
A 4-step agentic workflow pack for hr built to run with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Open the Markdown files, fill the variables, and paste into your model. Most buyers get a reviewable result in about 12 minutes.
- Separate skill vs will vs system causes before you touch a performance plan
- Split observation from interpretation so a fuzzy narrative never becomes a decision
- Score each root cause on a 0–4 evidence anchor, not a gut feeling
- Run a bias audit and pre-mortem that catch the wrong call before you act
- Gate any PIP behind explicit pre-conditions of fairness
- Walk away with a sequenced intervention plan, success criteria, and a 1:1 opener
- Keep a neutral, dated documentation record as you go
