Stage 05 - Productivity tracking

What productive actually means - and when the curve lands.

A ramp-up curve is only useful if 'productive' is defined. Clorrior anchors that definition to role-specific outcomes, and shows the curve building daily against it - not against a generic benchmark.

What it does

Everything this stage takes off your plate.

Role-specific productivity definition

What productive means for an engineer is not what it means for an AE - the definition per role is explicit and visible.

Curve calculation per hire

Every hire gets their own ramp-up curve, tied to the same definition their role has agreed on.

Team-level roll-up

See ramp velocity across a whole team - not just averages, but where hires cluster and where they diverge.

Manager view of next steps

Every point on the curve links to a specific next step - not just a plot with no action attached.

Historical baselines

Once enough curves are recorded, previous hires become the baseline - not a vendor benchmark from another company.

Honest 'not there yet' state

Curves are allowed to plateau - the product will say so plainly rather than pretending everyone is fine.

One worked example, end-to-end

One hire's full curve, from day 0 to fully productive.

A concrete run through this stage - not a diagram of arrows.

  1. Step 01

    Definition set

    Manager and HR agree what productive means for this role - specific outcomes, not a slogan.

  2. Step 02

    Curve begins

    As onboarding tasks close and early work starts, the curve begins climbing against the definition.

  3. Step 03

    Interventions land

    Skill-gap flags and training assignments show up as visible slope changes - not as invisible edits.

  4. Step 04

    Productive reached

    When the definition is met on sustained real work, the curve tops out - and the record closes.

Signals in

What feeds this stage

  • The role-specific productivity definition itself
  • Task, review and cycle-time signals from actual work
  • Skill-gap flags and closures from the previous stage
  • Manager acknowledgements on curve state
Outcomes

What this stage puts on the curve

  • A per-hire ramp-up curve with day-level resolution
  • A team ramp velocity roll-up
  • A closed hire record when the definition is met
  • Historical baselines for future hires in the same role

A word on accuracy

A ramp curve is only as honest as its productivity definition. If the definition is fuzzy, the curve will be fuzzy. Clorrior insists on a concrete definition per role and will surface when a curve is being asked to prove something the definition does not actually cover.
