Panels don't reward work they never hear about. Workfied keeps a living case mapped to your ladder's rubric — so when the cycle opens, the packet is a formality.
Every log is weighed against your target level. The case grows in the background — and when a signal is thin, you hear it in month 6, when you can still go get the evidence.
Where am I thin for promo?
Leadership evidence. You have 4 proofs vs ~10 expected at Senior EM. The org-wide launch you mentioned Tuesday would close most of that gap.→ analysis
The Q1 save that made the Q3 launch possible? Gone by packet time. Workfied kept it, dated it, and filed it under impact.
"Showed leadership" loses to "led the rebrand handoff across 3 teams, Apr–May, CEO sign-off." Citations make claims concrete.
Finding a gap at packet time means waiting a cycle. Finding it at month 6 means fixing it. The whole point is the timing.
Start now. The case builds while you just keep doing the work.
