FAQ
What is the seniority coefficient and how does it affect my AI score? It is a fixed multiplier (0.85 for L3) applied to the raw AI Impact Score; it lowers any score above the senior baseline, preventing new grads from outscoring senior engineers on raw numbers alone.
Can I dispute an AI‑generated metric after the review meeting? Yes, but the rebuttal must be a single quantified outcome (e.g., $1.2 M revenue) and must be delivered within the same debrief; emotional arguments are ignored.
Do I need to mention every AI tool I used in my self‑assessment? Only the ones where you can demonstrate personal decision ownership; the AI‑usage flag penalizes unexplained reliance, so silence on irrelevant tools is safer.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
