The GPEI Performance Assessment Framework defines how commitments are documented, how review sessions are structured, and how cycle output is evaluated. The same framework is applied to every cohort cycle without modification.
The framework does not assess capability, evaluate potential, or measure progress toward professional development goals. It registers what was committed to, evaluates what was delivered, and records the variance between the two.
Professionals operating without documented external commitments and defined review intervals tend to deliver against their stated priorities at a lower rate than those operating within a formal accountability procedure. The framework exists to enforce that procedure.
The primary assessment dimension. The Institute records what each Fellow registered at cycle opening and evaluates what was delivered by cycle close. Variance is calculated and noted in the output summary. This dimension applies to all registered commitments regardless of type, sector, or scope. It is a record of correspondence — not a qualitative evaluation of effort or intent.
Attendance at all scheduled fortnightly review sessions is recorded. Reporting conduct — the degree to which a Fellow reports accurately against their documented commitments rather than against revised or restated versions — is assessed by the Institute coordinator and noted in the cycle output summary. This dimension enforces the procedural integrity of the cycle.
The documentation standard applied to commitments registered at Phase 01 is itself evaluated. Commitments that are general, conditional, or not assessable against observable output are returned before the cycle proceeds. The Institute determines whether the documentation standard is met. This dimension establishes whether the cycle has an adequate evidentiary basis for subsequent assessment.
The framework is administered through four procedural components. Each has a defined function. None is optional.
All Fellow commitments are documented in writing and registered by the Institute at Phase 01. Commitments that do not meet the documentation standard are returned. The register is the reference document for all subsequent review. It is not revised during the cycle.
Review sessions are scheduled at fixed intervals across Phase 02. Attendance is required and recorded. Each Fellow reports against the commitment register. The Institute coordinator assesses the accuracy and completeness of reporting. Sessions are procedural; they do not function as discussion or advisory forums.
The Institute maintains its own record of each review session, independent of Fellow reporting. This record documents what was reported, against what commitment, and any discrepancy between the two. The institutional record is not shared between Fellows.
At cycle close, the Institute issues a written output summary to each Fellow. The summary documents: commitments registered at Phase 01, output reported across Phase 02, attendance record, and the assessed variance between commitment and result. The summary is a formal institutional document.
Commitments must be specific enough to be assessed. A commitment that cannot be evaluated against observable output is not a commitment the framework can process. It is returned before the cycle begins.
Attendance is not discretionary. The review procedure requires all Fellows to be present at scheduled sessions. A cycle in which review sessions are partially attended is a cycle in which the accountability structure is partially applied.
The commitment register is not amended mid-cycle. Commitments documented at Phase 01 are the basis for Phase 03 assessment. Revisions made during the cycle are not incorporated into the formal record.
The cycle output summary is issued by the Institute. It is not authored, edited, or approved by the Fellow. It is a record of what the Institute observed, assessed, and documented across the cycle.
