You're doing the work. Do you know if it's enough?

The hardest part of a PIP isn't the work

It's not knowing. You show up, you put in the effort, you try to hit every item on the plan, and still: is it landing? Does your manager see it? Is it even close to enough? That question follows you into every 1:1 and every quiet moment between them.

Recovery Score exists to answer it. Instead of a vague feeling that you're “doing fine,” you get an honest, criterion-by-criterion number that shows exactly where you stand right now.

What the score actually measures

1. Documentation. Tracking progress against every item your PIP plan lists.
2. Manager Alignment. Regular check-ins with your manager on your PIP progress.
3. Visibility. Demonstrating your improvement to the people who evaluate the outcome.
4. Clarity. Understanding exactly what your PIP requires and the timeline you're working against.

Recovery, not survival

The name is deliberate. You're not just running out the clock, and you're not managing damage. The score reflects real progress you're making against real criteria, so it moves when you actually build evidence, not just because another day passed.

How it tracks your criteria

1. 1. Upload your PIP. The CareerClimb app extracts every criterion your document actually lists.
2. 2. Log evidence as you build it. Capture what you're doing against each criterion while it's fresh, not the night before your check-in.
3. 3. Watch the score update. Your Recovery Score reflects your documented progress against each criterion, so you always know where the gaps still are.

We'll be honest with you

A high Recovery Score can't promise you'll keep your job. No honest tool can. A PIP outcome depends on factors outside your control, like calibration and a manager's judgment call.

What the score can do is make sure that if the decision comes down to the evidence, you have the strongest possible case, built criterion by criterion instead of assembled in a panic the night before your check-in.
