Rating Steel — performance review template, Swiss grid layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Rating Steel does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
footer rule
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
competency rows with self score + 1-5 manager dots; goal recap rows; next-period goal rows
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
manager notes; development plan copy; calibration note; employee comment lines
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
footer at page bottom
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
goals after the competency table; calibration after goals; comments after calibration; sign-off last
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
competency and goal tables may split with their headers repeating; the summary band and the sign-off row must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the summary band and sign-off row may occupy the final page alone

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Swiss grid on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
