FAQ

What if I can’t get a DOC‑ID from a partner because they’re on leave? The committee will mark the Evidence column red. The judgment is clear: without a signed DOC‑ID the promotion will be denied. Seek an alternative partner or request a temporary proxy sign‑off; otherwise the promotion window closes with a “no evidence” outcome.

Can I use a manager’s email as evidence if the manager is the only one who knows the metric? No. The rubric (Promotion Guide v5.0, section 4.3) requires at least two independent confirmations. A single manager email is treated as “subjective” and will trigger a downgrade regardless of the metric’s size.

How many EM‑IDs do I need to include for a senior‑PM promotion? At least two EM‑IDs covering distinct impact areas (e.g., user growth and latency reduction). The committee’s audit logs from the Q2 2024 Amazon Prime HC show that candidates with fewer than two EM‑IDs received a “partial evidence” rating and were rejected 5–2.

The verdict is unwavering: a Forte Review without verifiable peer evidence will never survive Amazon’s promotion audit. Collect signed DOC‑IDs, embed EM‑IDs, and align your feedback sprint with the promotion calendar, or your promotion will be a dead end.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
