Modern interpretation
Keep evaluation standards independent of relationships
Apply the idea to consistent, explainable evaluation. The adaptation does not transfer ancient punishments into modern practice.
Business application
When equivalent contributions appear to receive different evaluations based on personal relationships.
- Write the contribution criteria, supporting evidence and exception conditions before evaluating.
- Apply the same criteria to equivalent cases and check that the reasoning can be explained.
- Deliverable
- An evaluation proposal showing behaviors, evidence and reasons for exceptions.
Limits
Fairness is not identical treatment. Explain how relevant differences in roles and circumstances affect evaluation.
Question to test
Do equivalent conditions produce equivalent outcomes, and are differences explainable?
