Here's one review cycle in Dialogyx™, from the admin pressing Launch to the employee acknowledging their review. Every screen below is the real app, with a fictional team: Jordan, a software engineer, Maya, their manager, and Sam, who runs the cycle.
The admin adds people one at a time or imports a spreadsheet (CSV): name, email, job title and manager. A template sets the competencies, guiding questions, rating scale and Colombyx™'s tone.
Then the admin picks who's reviewed and who gives peer feedback, sets the deadlines and launches. Everyone gets an email invite, and signs in with a link. No passwords.
Colombyx asks about what you delivered, how you work, and where you want to grow, one question at a time. A progress panel shows which topics are covered. It takes about 20 minutes, and you can stop and come back anytime.
Have notes already? Add a brag doc or goals sheet (PDF, Word or text), or paste text in, and Colombyx uses it.
The admin picks each person's peers. Each peer has a short chat with Colombyx (about 10 minutes) about someone they work with.
The person being reviewed never sees who said what. They see a summary Colombyx writes, with no names. If a point might give a peer away, Colombyx tells the manager privately and offers to remove it.
The manager's chat starts with everything so far: the submitted self-review and the peer feedback. Colombyx asks about what the manager has seen, points out neutrally where their view differs from the self-review or the peers, and helps them land on fair, evidence-based ratings.
What the manager's chat can see
What it never sees
At the end of each chat, Colombyx writes the draft only from what was said, uploaded or submitted. It never makes anything up. Each rating comes with a reason tied to the evidence.
Every word is editable. Ask Colombyx to revise rewrites a section on request. A person confirms every rating, and the overall score is calculated from the section ratings, not typed in.
Before anything is released, ratings across the company are compared side by side, so that "4, Strong" means the same thing whoever your manager is. Colombyx flags likely problems:
People make every decision. Managers see only their own reports.
The manager releases the review. The employee reads it, can add a comment, and acknowledges it. Reviews download as PDF or Word.
Along the way, the admin's cycle dashboard shows who's done what, with a Nudge button. Reminder emails go out three days and one day before each deadline.
One person can have several roles. A manager also does their own self-review and gives peer feedback.
