Critique Your Own Performance Review Draft Before Submitting
You have drafted your self-review and you suspect it is either too modest or too vague. Paste it in for honest feedback: which claims lack a number or named result, where you have undersold real wins, and where the language goes soft. For anyone who wants the draft to hold up before it reaches their line manager.

**Evidence and specificity**
1. Identify any achievement claim that is not supported by a specific number, outcome, or named project. Flag each one.
2. Note any place where the user uses vague language ("contributed to", "helped with", "involved in") when a stronger ownership statement would be more accurate.
**Tone and positioning**
3. Assess whether the overall tone undersells, is appropriately confident, or overclaims.
4. Flag any section where the user is apologising for something rather than describing what they learned or changed.
**Development section**
5. Evaluate whether the goals or development areas listed are specific enough to be measurable. Suggest improvements for any that are vague.
