Reference
Evidence & Evaluation Definitions
Reference the evidence system, tag logic, and scoring rules that govern PeopleBooks.
Quick Context
What this reference defines
What counts as structural evidence
How evidence quality affects scoring
Which tags anchor observations to the system
How PeopleBooks interprets evaluator output
Evidence Strength
How evidence qualifies
Strong Evidence
Supports high score
Role, decision owner, and mechanism are explicit.
Moderate Evidence
Caps scoring potential
Some structure exists, but authority or boundaries are incomplete.
Weak Evidence
Limits scoring
Statements are general, inferred, or loosely defined.
Absent Evidence
Forces assumption
No structural mechanism can be identified.
Scoring System
How PeopleBooks scores
Work Design
Can the system run as designed?
Team Reality
Can the current team carry the system?
Alignment
Will the system hold under pressure?
Tag System
Work Design tags
[Priority]
Strategic work classification
[Org]
Role and authority structure
[Books]
Documented operating system
[Assumption]
Structural design hypothesis
Tag System
Team Reality & Alignment tags
[Team]
Current team configuration
[Allocation]
Capacity distribution and load
[Observation]
Observed execution pattern
[WorkDesign]
Reference to design layer
[Assumption]
Capacity or alignment hypothesis
Misinterpretations
What this system does not mean
Strong people means strong execution
Talent quality does not replace structural design.
Verbal clarity is enough
If the system depends on memory, it is not designed.
Intent should score highly
PeopleBooks scores operating structure, not aspiration.
