Powering fair reviews across modern people teams

NorthwindLumen LabsVertexCadenceRidgeway
The problem

Most reviews collapse under a single hard question: “why?”

Ratings live in spreadsheets, weights are inconsistent, and nobody can trace how a final number was reached. When employees ask for the reasoning, HR is left reconstructing it after the fact.

The fix

Every score is structured, weighted, and traceable to its source.

FairScore captures each KRA and KPI with explicit weights, collects self, team-lead, and HR input, and records the full calculation — so the answer to “why?” is always one click away.

Features

Everything a fair review needs, nothing it doesn't.

Built for HR leaders and team leads who need performance data that is structured, consistent, and impossible to argue with.

Designation-based templates

Spin up role-specific KRA/KPI templates once, then reuse them across every review cycle for consistency at scale.

Weighted scoring

Assign explicit weights to every metric. Final scores are computed transparently — no hidden math, no guesswork.

Multi-level review

Reconcile self-assessment, team-lead scoring, and HR calibration in one flow, with clear ownership at each stage.

Delegation & drafts

Team leads can delegate scoring with per-metric comments, review drafts, and keep final sign-off firmly in their hands.

Full audit trail

Every edit, comment, and score change is logged with who, what, and when — reviews you can defend with confidence.

Calculation breakdown

Open any score to see exactly how it was derived, metric by metric, weight by weight, down to the final number.

How it works

From blank template to defensible score in three steps.

A single, guided flow replaces scattered spreadsheets and end-of-cycle scrambles.

01

Define KRAs & weights

Build or reuse designation-based templates. Set the metrics that matter and how much each one counts.

02

Collect scores

Employees self-assess, team leads score, and HR calibrates — each contribution captured in its own reviewed stage.

03

Finalize & defend

FairScore computes the weighted result with a complete breakdown and audit trail, ready to share and stand behind.

Proof

People teams stopped defending scores and started trusting them.

Fewer disputes, faster calibration, and reviews that hold up when it matters.

The audit trail alone changed our review season. When someone questions a score, we open the breakdown and the conversation is over in a minute.

Head of People, Lumen Labs

Weights used to be an argument. Now they're set in the template and every lead scores against the same rubric. Calibration got dramatically easier.

Daniel Osei

HR Director, Vertex

Delegation with per-metric comments means my leads can move fast without me losing sight of the final sign-off. It just fits how we already work.
