The premise
Manager-submitted talent grids are riddled with rater bias. AI can flag inconsistencies before the calibration meeting eats four hours discovering them.
What AI does well here
- Compare ratings across managers for similar roles and tenures.
- Flag managers whose ratings have unusual distributions.
- Draft calibration questions for each flagged employee.
What AI cannot do
- Replace the actual judgment in the calibration room.
- Know about a private context (medical, family) the manager hasn't documented.
- Decide promotion outcomes.
