# Performance review LLMs

> AI-drafted reviews, feedback summarization, calibration sessions.

**Sector**: [HR Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/hr-tech)  
**Build cost**: Month-long build  
**Deal velocity**: Hot — multiple deals per month

## Why now

Performance reviews are universally hated. AI drafts the first 70%.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with HRIS adapters, draft-from-data libraries, and calibration-session frameworks.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Lattice + AI shape
- 15Five / Culture Amp adjacency
- Open-source performance-review libraries

## What this displaces

A 4-hour blocked calendar + a blank Lattice template.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Wedge for mid-market HR. The moat is the HRIS integration + the manager-workflow integration.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

HR + people-ops leaders.

### Pricing?

Per employee per year.

### Moat?

Integration + manager-workflow.
