  • Run weekly, biweekly, or monthly result discussions focused on team behaviors, clarity, and shared outcomes, not individual labels.
  • Keep each participant as the owner of their personal report inside their own account.
  • Use anonymized team-level insights to support fair and consistent development follow-through.
