The Sunday process
Read the current week's stored tasks
Use manager-reviewed priority
Apply configurable category and priority weights
Add small highlight or challenge points where relevant
Cap the score per task
Store results, produce reports and update the current four-week period
Make the logic understandable
Stars = category weight + reviewed priority weight + small highlight / challenge contribution
The exact values should be configurable. Hours are useful in reporting, but they should not multiply stars.
| Input | Safeguard |
|---|---|
| Work category | Routine operational work should not appear worthless. |
| Manager-reviewed priority | Manager judgement stays in the loop. |
| Highlight / challenge | Use as evidence and context, not a checkbox to tick on every task. |
| Hours | Report them; do not award more stars for more hours. |
Guardrails
- Do not reward raw task count or task splitting.
- Cap the maximum score per task.
- Review weights after the pilot to see which behaviour they encourage.
- Use scores to support a recognition conversation, never as a replacement for human assessment.
