The senior team's judgment, captured once and available on demand.
A foundation team encoded each senior reviewer's decision frame as a structured assessment: criteria, failure modes, examples, voice. Anyone, or any automation, can run it on demand. The slow back-and-forth of 'can you take a look?' became a final-form output produced in minutes.
What changed, in numbers.
Per senior reviewer, every month, recovered from review meetings and back-and-forth iteration.
Per reviewer at $150/hr loaded senior labor. Stacks across multiple reviewers.
Senior-judgment assessments now callable on demand, in parallel, across the team.
RAG output against named criteria, consistent across runs. Replaces unstructured verbal feedback.
Each reviewer's criteria are now legible to the team. No longer locked in a senior person's head.
Reviewer's evolving judgment propagates to the whole team in one update. No stale frames.
Days, collapsed to minutes.
- 01Point the assessment at the document or decision
- 02Receive a structured read in their voice, against their criteria, with red/amber/green output and flagged risks
- 03If you disagree, the disagreement updates the encoded frame, and the next person gets the better version
Each reviewer’s frame, captured once.
Each one was authored as a working document with the senior reviewer in the room: their criteria, the failure modes they look for, examples of past calls that shaped their judgment, the structured output format they want produced. The reviewer's role shifts from doing the reviews to maintaining the standard.
