The Performance Review Writer

Help me write a fair, useful performance review for this person.

The person and role: [DESCRIBE]
Their performance over the period: [ACHIEVEMENTS, GAPS, EXAMPLES]
The relationship and their self-perception: [DESCRIBE]

Produce:
1. A balanced assessment grounded in specific examples, not vague
   adjectives
2. Clear, honest feedback on both strengths and development areas
3. Language that motivates growth rather than crushes or inflates
4. Concrete development goals for the next period
5. How to handle it if my view and their self-view differ sharply

Be specific and evidence-based — reviews fail when they're generic or
avoid the real message. Keep ratings/pay-linked language for me to confirm
against policy.
