Our not-so-secret sauce

Merritt flips performance management on its head.

To be in line with research on what actually increases performance.

Traditional tools + methods

Traditional performance management: tiny effort on expectations, small on continuous feedback, dominant on reviews

Merritt approach: most effort on expectations and goals, lots of continuous feedback, small effort on reviews, in a continuous cycle

AI-native

Built on AI. Driven by managers.

Merritt is built on AI from the ground up, not bolted on. We use AI to coach managers in the moments that matter, surface insights they'd otherwise miss, and keep every team pulling toward an organization's overall goals.

But Merritt doesn't manage your people. Your managers do. Managers stay in the driver's seat, we get them where they need to go more easily and faster.

The walkthrough

How Merritt works.

01

Set expectations

Day-one clarity on what good looks like

Bring your own ladders + existing frameworks or have Merritt generate org-specific expectations in minutes.

  • Role-aligned expectations live alongside the work — not buried in a Notion doc nobody reads.
  • Keeps teams in lock-step. Feedback, 1:1s and reviews are anchored in clearly defined criteria for success.

Run better 1:1s

1:1s that go beyond status updates

Merritt suggests personalized agenda items to both managers and employees based on recent feedback, goals, and past discussions.

  • Suggested agenda items mean no more starting from blank docs, and 1:1s that keep performance top-of-mind.
  • Past topics are logged and action items carry forward, so what you talked about is referenceable and commitments don't disappear.

Coach in the moment

Ongoing actionable feedback

We remind managers to give feedback and guide them on what to say. Our AI checker keeps it specific, actionable, and supportive.

  • Pulls relevant feedback from email, Slack, even the transcript of a Zoom meeting so everything relevant gets logged.
  • Merritt makes feedback easy, so it becomes a habit. Employees can course-correct in real time, not 6 months too late.

Summarize with reviews

Trustworthy reviews in minutes

Reviews are auto-drafted from the high-quality feedback tied directly to role expectations. So from day 1 employees know exactly what they'll be evaluated on.

  • Managers complete reviews in minutes, nothing in the review is a surprise for employees — and it's clearly not AI slop.
  • Reviews follow proven best practices for objectivity, so the results reflect actual performance, and top performers are easier to spot.
