User Guide
How to complete your own scorecard, understand visibility, and take part in the wider WeMatter review cycle.
Who this is for
This guide is for people completing their own scorecard.
If you have been asked to complete iMatter, read a reviewer response, or take part in a WeMatter workshop, this is the guide that explains what the scorecard is doing and how to move through it confidently.
Why scorecards matter for you
Scorecards give you a structured way to describe how work is feeling and how you see your recent performance. They make space for your own perspective first, then place that alongside reviewer input and a later alignment conversation.
On their own, ratings rarely create a good review conversation. What helps is a better shared picture, and a scorecard helps build that picture.
Where to find your scorecard
You will usually reach a live scorecard from your dashboard, your profile, the main Scorecards area, or a task that links you straight to the response you need to complete.
Depending on how your organisation uses WeMatter, you may be able to launch your own scorecard from Actions. In other cases, a manager, WeMatter lead, admin, or RPO user may launch it for you.
Already started?
If a scorecard has already been launched for you, open the live scorecard from your dashboard, profile, or task list and continue from where you left off.
Understanding the three parts
Your scorecard journey can include three connected responses.
iMatter is your self-reflection. This is where you describe your engagement, rate your performance, and add written context.
uMatter is the reviewer response. In the live product, this focuses on the performance side of the scorecard rather than repeating your engagement section.
WeMatter is the shared workshop. This is where differences are discussed and final performance agreements are made.
You will always complete iMatter yourself. Access to uMatter and WeMatter depends on submission state and the visibility settings chosen earlier in the cycle.
What the page is trying to help you do
On a live scorecard page, you will usually see the current response type, the role name, the relevant deadline, an Actions menu, a stepper, and the main scorecard content split into Engagement and Performance where relevant.
For uMatter, the live UI focuses on Performance only. For iMatter and
WeMatter, you may also see the Engagement side of the scorecard.
The stepper is there to make progress legible. It shows what is complete, what is still waiting, and where attention is still needed before submission becomes available.
Completing iMatter
iMatter is your self-reflection. It combines your engagement feedback, your own view of recent performance, and the written context that helps others interpret those ratings well.
To reach 100% and unlock submission, you need to complete the full set of required parts: your overall engagement comment, your self-reflection, ratings for each competency, comments for each Human Performance Indicator section, and both a score and a comment for each engagement area.
Reading the two halves well
In the Engagement side of iMatter, you rate each engagement area on the 1-10 scale and explain how that part of the organisation currently feels for you.
In the Performance side, you rate competencies and add comments across the Human Performance Indicator structure. The competencies come from the framework assigned to you, so this part of the scorecard is shaped by the capability model already attached to your role or profile.
Submitting iMatter
The Submit button appears once iMatter reaches 100%.
Before you submit, you choose when your WeMatter leads can access your self-reflection. You can make it visible immediately after submission or wait until after they have submitted their uMatter manager review.
That choice controls timing, not anonymity. Your scorecard is not anonymous.
Submitted scorecards become read-only
Once submitted, your iMatter can still be viewed, but it cannot be edited unless a WeMatter lead, admin, or RPO user un-submits it for you.
When you can see uMatter
uMatter is the reviewer response to your scorecard.
You may not be able to open it straight away. Access depends first on whether it has been submitted, and second on the visibility option chosen when it was submitted.
It can be shared with you immediately, after you have submitted iMatter, or only after the WeMatter workshop is complete. If access is delayed, WeMatter will normally tell you why.
Taking part in WeMatter
WeMatter becomes available once both iMatter and uMatter have been submitted.
Its job is not to re-run the entire scorecard. The workshop is mainly about alignment on the performance areas that still need it. Where iMatter and uMatter already agree on a competency rating, that agreement is carried through. Where they differ, WeMatter asks people to agree the final rating together.
For that reason, WeMatter often feels narrower than iMatter. It is not trying to repeat the full reflection. It is trying to resolve the part of the review that still needs shared judgement.
A useful detail to know
Engagement-area ratings and comments are not re-edited during the workshop. WeMatter focuses on alignment rather than re-scoring every part of the scorecard.
If you want the full workshop mechanics, including why some WeMatter scorecards
open at 100% and when facilitator-led access can keep the page gated, read
WeMatter Workshop and Alignment.
Insights, results, and what happens next
After submission, WeMatter can generate insights and visual summaries from the scorecard. Depending on the stage and the response you are viewing, that can include engagement charts, performance charts, written insights, and alignment views.
After the WeMatter stage is submitted, WeMatter can also build the PDF output for the scorecard and open the next development step, including goal creation.
This is one reason scorecards matter beyond the conversation itself. They do not only support reflection in the moment. They also shape what the platform does next.
If you want the output-level detail, including generated sections, alignment
views, PDF creation, and post-scorecard goal prompts, read
Insights, Alignment, and Outputs.
Deadlines and progress
Your scorecard can carry separate deadlines for iMatter, uMatter, and WeMatter. In the broader list view, active scorecards may appear as In Progress, Overdue, or Submitted, depending on what has been sent in and whether the next deadline has passed.
If you are unsure what is still outstanding, the best places to look are the stepper, the page tabs, and the section progress.
If changes are needed after submission
If you need to change something after submission, the relevant stage must first be unsubmitted by a WeMatter lead, admin, or RPO user. Once that happens, you can reopen the scorecard, make the change, and submit it again.
Participants do not normally archive, delete, or unsubmit scorecards themselves.
A good mindset to take
The strongest scorecards are honest rather than polished. Use iMatter to be specific about what is helping or blocking your performance. Choose ratings that reflect your real experience, not the answer you think someone wants to see.
And when you reach WeMatter, treat it as a conversation about alignment rather than a contest to win a rating.
