Reviews

Reviews in ClarityLoop help you run structured review cycles that turn day-to-day signals into clear growth decisions. They are built for self, manager, and panel input, with context attached so reviewers are not working from memory alone.

What reviews are good for​

  • Running time-bound performance reviews without building a process from scratch
  • Combining self, manager, and panel input in one place
  • Capturing context from work and notes alongside review answers
  • Comparing results across reviewees and aligning scoring
  • Finalizing decisions with a clear summary

Where to find reviews​

In the app, go to Performance > Reviews. The page includes:

  • Self Review for your own review stages
  • Team Reviews for your direct reports
  • Panel Reviews when you are assigned as a panel reviewer
  • Manage / Results for creating cycles and viewing results

Key building blocks​

  • Review cycle: The reusable template you configure with audience, stages, schedule, and questions.
  • Run: A single time the cycle is sent to reviewees.
  • Stage: A step in the cycle that defines who reviews and how long they have.
  • Reviewee: The person being reviewed.
  • Reviewer: The person completing a stage.
  • Owner: The person who creates, publishes, and manages the cycle.
  • Leader: Can view results for their reporting line.
  • Panel: A group of reviewers, either fixed or selected later.

Example cycle​

A typical performance review cycle might look like this:

  • Self review stage for 7 days
  • Manager review stage for 7 days
  • Panel review stage for 5 days

Each stage has its own questions and instructions, and the overall cycle can run once or repeat on a cadence.

How reviews work end to end​

  1. An owner creates a review cycle from a template, AI assist, or from scratch.
  2. They set the schedule and audience, then build stages and questions.
  3. The cycle is published and reviewers are notified based on the schedule.
  4. Reviewers complete their stages. Drafts save automatically.
  5. Owners and leaders track progress, review responses, calibrate scores, and finalize decisions.

Roles and access​

  • Owners: Create and publish cycles, manage stages, view results, request changes, and finalize decisions.
  • Leaders: View results for their teams and filter to their reporting line.
  • Reviewers: Complete self, team, or panel stages.

Reviews vs. continuous review​

  • Reviews are structured cycles with stages and deadlines.
  • Continuous review is an always-on dashboard that surfaces ongoing growth signals.
