📊 360° Evaluation Matrix¶
Fair, culture‑aligned, multi‑source feedback
We combine peer, manager, direct report, and self feedback to evaluate performance and cultural alignment—grounded in brax’s Culture & Performance Framework.
🎯 Why we use 360s¶
- Provide a well‑rounded view beyond a single manager perspective
- Detect blind spots and unlock development opportunities
- Reinforce our Culture Code with observable behaviors
- Tie recognition, coaching, and consequences to consistent signals
Reference: see the Culture & Performance Framework for definitions and outcomes. Open Culture & Performance Framework →
🧭 What we measure (mapped to Culture Code)¶
| Dimension | Culture principle | Example signals |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership (Responsibility) | Ownership Mentality | Delivers commitments, unblocks others, raises risks early |
| Transparency & Respect | Transparency & Radical Candor; Fairness & Integrity | Gives/receives feedback, shares context, honors commitments |
| Collaboration | Community Over Ego | Cross‑team handoffs, co‑creation, lifts team outcomes |
| Learning Agility | Continuous Learning | Experiments, learns from mistakes, documents decisions |
| Adaptiveness | Embracing Ambiguity | Performs in changing contexts, simplifies complexity |
| Remarkability (Impact) | Excellence & Craft | Raises quality bar, creates leverage, visible positive impact |
| Compliance (Binary checks) | Security, Ethics, Policy | Pass/fail for mandatory items (privacy, security, code of conduct) |
Rubrics are maintained centrally; some dimensions include binary gates (must‑pass) for safety and compliance.
👥 Who contributes and why¶
| Source | What we ask for | How it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Peers (cross‑functional) | Specific examples of collaboration, candor, reliability | Validate day‑to‑day behaviors and teamwork |
| Direct reports (if any) | Coaching, clarity, psychological safety | Assess people leadership and culture building |
| Manager | Outcomes, scope, role expectations | Align results with level rubric and strategy |
| Self | Achievements, lessons, intents | Capture context and growth narrative |
| Data (KPI/IT reports) | Throughput, quality, reliability signals | Anchor feedback in objective trends |
Note: Final decisions weigh multiple inputs—no single source decides alone.
🛠️ How the process works¶
1) Launch
Select reviewers, share role rubric and examples, set timeline.
2) Collect
Gather structured feedback and evidence (links, PRs, docs, KPIs).
3) Calibrate
Managers calibrate across teams to remove bias and normalize standards.
4) Decide
Determine outcome and next steps (recognition or development plan).
5) Coach
Share actionable feedback and update the K‑POC plan with clear milestones.
📈 Scoring and decisions¶
- Rubric scale: 1 (Unsatisfactory), 2 (Needs Improvement), 3 (Meets), 4 (Exceeds), 5 (Exceptional)
- Binary gates (privacy/security/ethics) must be PASS for overall Passing outcome
- Evidence‑based: comments require examples or artifacts (links, IDs)
Outcomes align with the Culture & Performance Framework:
- ✅ Passing: strong performance and cultural alignment → recognition, growth opportunities
- 🟡 Redemption: gaps with potential → coaching plan via K‑POC; progress reviewed against milestones
- 🔴 Termination: persistent misalignment or severe violations → follow CAP process

🔒 Fairness and safety¶
- Peer feedback is anonymized in summaries; retaliation is prohibited
- Single‑reviewer bias checks during manager calibration
- Right to clarify: employees can add context in the self‑review and 1:1
