# Performance Review Cycle Readiness Check

## Inputs
The review cycle plan, the reviewer assignments and the evidence collection status.

## Workflow
1. List employees in the cycle.
2. Check each has an assigned reviewer and evidence collected.
3. Flag missing assignments and empty evidence files.
4. Return the check without launching the cycle.

## Output contract
Employee | reviewer assigned | evidence items | ready | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional cycle: 25 employees; 22 have assigned reviewers, 3 do not, and 4 of the 25 have zero evidence items collected. Flag 7 employees total.

## Review gates
Re-check evidence requirements per role before flagging empty files. Readiness gaps go to HR; the check never starts a review.
