The 2026 Raise File

Walk into review season with a complete packet. Templates, spreadsheet, and talk tracks. Evidence-backed. Not a raise guarantee.

What it is

You already did the work. The problem is the self-eval box, and the conversation after it. This is the working file you take into a US performance review or raise conversation.

• 14-day calendar
• Weekly brag-log system plus a spreadsheet you open in Excel or Google Sheets
• Complete self-evaluation structure (situation, actions, evidence, outcomes, lessons)
• Eight annotated example bullets, clearly marked EXAMPLE
• One-page raise / promotion case
• Ask script, if-no fork, and same-day follow-up email
• 1:1 talk tracks for the review and a separate pay conversation
• Optional AI prompts that only rewrite your notes

Who it is for

US-employed individual contributors and new managers heading into a fall 2026 cycle or a rolling review. People with real work who freeze when the form opens.

Who it is not for

Anyone who wants a guaranteed raise, a salary database, an AI that invents a year of wins, or a script to ambush a manager.

Hard rule in the packet: never fabricate a metric. Never submit AI-invented wins. Not legal advice. Not HR advice. Not a raise guarantee.
