Promotion case
Make your promotion case with evidence, not hope.
Look At You Go helps you build a promotion case by recording, week by week, the moments you worked above your current grade: the scope you took on, the decisions you made and what changed. When a promotion round opens, you can show a pattern of next-level work with dates attached.
Why good people get passed over
Promotion panels look for evidence that you are already doing the next job. Most candidates describe potential instead, because the proof was never written down.
Your manager often argues your case in a room you are not in. They need specifics they can repeat.
How Look At You Go builds the case
It collects the proof as it happens, so the case is a matter of selection, not recall.
- 01Record weekly, including the moments you stepped up, covered, led or decided.
- 02Entries are tagged by theme so next-level work is easy to find.
- 03When the round opens, pull the strongest evidence into a structured case for your manager.
From a loose note to evidence
Each entry is shaped around Context, Action, Impact and Proof: what was happening, what you did, what changed and what backs it up. Nothing is added that you did not say.
Before
Took on more responsibility this year.
After
Context: my team lead moved to another project in May. Action: I ran sprint planning and line-managed two junior analysts for five months. Impact: the team delivered all planned releases. Proof: head of department's feedback in the September review.
From weekly entries to a promotion case
The same record supports your appraisal and pay rise conversations too. A promotion case is just the entries that show scope beyond your current role, gathered in one place.
Private, and yours to keep
Your record is private to your account. There is no manager view and no team dashboard, and your employer cannot read it. You can export or delete everything at any time.
How AI is used
AI helps structure what you record and asks a follow-up when something is vague. It does not invent numbers, dates, employers or achievements, and anything it drafts is labelled so you can check it. How we use AI.

- What evidence does a promotion panel want?
- Examples of you already operating at the next level: wider scope, harder decisions, influence beyond your team, and outcomes that followed.
- How long before a promotion should I start recording?
- At least six to twelve months, so the case shows a pattern rather than one good quarter.
- Does it tell me if I'm ready?
- Premium gives an honest readiness read. If the evidence is thin, it says so and suggests what to build next rather than flattering you.
