Leveling

Defining role levels with consistent expectations.

A leveling rubric describes scope, autonomy, and impact per level. It anchors hiring, performance, and compensation decisions consistently.

Most rubrics span 5–8 levels per function. The hardest part is keeping them honest as the company grows — title inflation is the default and requires explicit calibration to resist.
