A record here is built from things like an appointment you delivered as booked, confirmed by somebody other than the person who did it.

What gets recorded

Both directions. A record that only carries the good weeks is not a record, and the person it is about is told about every entry and can contest any of them.

Appointment completed

Kept its word

The booked appointment was delivered as scheduled.

Who confirms it
The client or the salon/studio managerCustomer or client

No-show for booked appointment

Fell short

The worker did not show for a booked appointment without notice.

Who confirms it
The salon/studio managerSupervisor or reviewer
How they confirm
Recorded by the manager; the worker is notified and can dispute.
Due
the booked appointment time
Done
Nothing was delivered, so there is no completion time to compare against.

Due and done are the pair that decide whether something counts as delivered on time rather than merely delivered. Send one without the other and the outcome can only ever read as finished.

Who counts as a witness here

3 kinds of third party confirm work in this trade. None of them outranks another. The formula does not read this at all. What varies is how hard each one is for either side to lean on, which is a fact worth knowing and not a weighting.

Customer or client
The party the work was done for, or who took delivery of it: a homeowner, a patient, a client, a consignee, a family. They know first hand whether it happened.
Payment or marketplace
A processor or marketplace that independently recorded a payer other than the worker. Money moving from a third party is evidence somebody else was involved. It is never, on its own, evidence that the work was good.
Supervisor or reviewer
The responsible party where the work happened, who is not the worker: a shift or site manager, a charge nurse, a dispatcher, a production manager, a reviewer. Distinct from the worker by construction, so a worker can never be their own supervisor here.

What is not recorded against the person

A client who does not show for their own appointment is not the worker’s outcome. It goes nowhere near their record, and neither does anything else on the shared list: a customer who did not attend, a job the business itself pulled, conditions nobody controls, notified time off, or an opinion about the person.

The full list is on the index, and it is the same list for every trade.

How a confirmed outcome reaches a score

A confirmed outcome becomes evidence in a published formula, version 5.6, with five weights and six bands running from Distinguished down to At Risk. An outcome nobody else confirmed is still recorded, and it shows on the record as a claim rather than as evidence. No plan and no payment moves a score.

The record belongs to the person, not to the business that recorded the work. They take it with them. The model is published in full, and what an employer records covers the recording side.
