About this template

This template captures the performance review methodology used by Eddie Kim (Co-founder/CTO) at Gusto. It details how to evaluate engineers beyond just code by using four specific axes of impact, scaling expectations based on seniority, and moving measurement from tracking activity (Effort) to tracking results (Business Impact).

"A holistic evaluation model that assesses engineers across four distinct dimensions—Project, Better Engineering, People, and Better Organization—visualized like a 'Pokémon stats polygon' to allow for diverse individual strengths while prioritizing business outcomes over simple effort."
