Keep readiness and completion distinct
Meeting a displayed performance or skill target answers a readiness question. A promotion result needs an actual changed title or a completed settlement that reports the change.
The reviewed Banking run confirmed its promotion through the work receipt and a separate Career reading. That pair is stronger than an isolated progress bar.
Read the settlement and panel
At the end of a legal shift, check what the game actually reports before adding another action. If the rank changes, capture the new title and next requirement.
The observed Banking change
The later full-shift observation recorded Relationship Officer Level 2 and 45% performance after settlement. That post-promotion value should not be mistaken for a failed entry-rank target.
| Stage | What to record |
|---|---|
| Before | Current role and missing displayed requirement |
| During | Actual shift state, without assuming a trigger |
| Settlement | Promotion and wage message if present |
| After | New title, performance and next requirement |
Avoid inferring the invisible trigger
A changed panel after settlement shows the outcome, but it does not independently isolate every internal promotion rule. The reports did not measure a universal trigger for every career.
Starting near a performance cap can conceal how much an action would add below the cap. Do not derive a fixed performance gain or work-mode multiplier from that one run.
Does reaching 100% guarantee the next rank?
Not on this evidence. Use the live required conditions and observe the completed outcome; the checklist cannot establish a guaranteed internal rule.
Why did performance become 45% after the recorded promotion? The Career panel showed that value. Its complete formula was not isolated, so it should remain an observed post-result reading.

Check what each source records. A menu label and a completed playtest are different kinds of evidence.
