Limitations and safe use

Do not use this for

  • Applying the framework mechanically when the decision requires missing evidence, stakeholder judgment, or qualified review.

Known limitations

  • Use the listed authoritative or identified source surfaces for general Nine-Box Talent Grid guidance; local facts, records, values, states, permissions, and results require inspected evidence.
  • Task-specific work requires current evidence for purpose and population, role and level comparability, performance period and criteria, potential definition and validated indicators, evidence sources and data quality, manager ratings, calibration participants and rationale, bias and adverse-impact checks, employee notice and access, privacy and retention, development options, appeal and reassessment process, owners, and approvals.
  • Do not infer employee performance, potential, readiness, aspiration, placement, fairness, succession suitability, or employment outcome.

Safety notes

  • Minimize personal, customer, employee, financial, credential, security, privileged, health, student, and other sensitive data.
  • Require explicit confirmation before actions that place or label employees, change ratings or talent records, disclose sensitive assessments, make promotion, compensation, succession, development, performance, or termination decisions, or deny appeal.
  • Route legal, privacy, security, compliance, financial, employment, clinical, safety, and other qualified judgments to an evidenced accountable reviewer.
