A promotion case the decision-maker can approve from one page.
A one-page case for promoting a report, built around next-level evidence, business need, and an honest account of the gaps.
Most promotion cases describe how good the person is. The reader is asking something else: is this person already doing the next level, does the business need the role, and what is the catch. A page of praise answers none of that.
Promotion Case sets the criteria for the higher level, matches your evidence to each one, shows the scope already carried, and states the business need. It adds one honest gap with a plan, so the case reads as calibrated and not as advocacy.
What it produces.
- →The criteria for the proposed level in plain statements
- →Evidence matched to each criterion, with who can confirm it
- →A business-need paragraph that does not lean on flight risk
- →A one-page case with a two-sentence recommendation at the top

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude writes a flattering letter of support. This builds a case for the person who decides: next-level evidence first, scope already carried, the business reason for the role, and a stated weakness so the reader trusts the rest.
How is this different from a Tool?
Playbooks are systematically produced to a fixed template and priced accordingly ($12.99). Tools are hand-built, one at a time, and go deeper ($39 to $199). A Playbook gives you a reliable method for routine work; a Tool is for when the judgment matters more than the format.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.
Can I share this with my team?
It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. The output it produces is yours to circulate. To put the Playbook itself in the hands of a whole team, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full: see our refund policy.
People Playbooks are structuring aids. They are not legal or HR advice. Employment law differs between the US and the UK and between states and countries, so check anything touching dismissal, performance plans, pay, or protected characteristics with a qualified HR professional or employment lawyer.
