Okay, so I decided to mash all remaining sections of the documentation together because I had actually edited the majority of it a while ago. It also just made more sense because these concepts require much less explanation than the previous ones.

I am sure I will be making future edits and additions as this plays out in real life at my own company. To all those who have directly reported into me, thank you for your encouragement to do this and get it out into the world.

Instead of treating employee evaluations like high school homework, to be done at the last minute, the feats section acts as a running record of reasons why a person
