This pack computes how long each person has spent at their current level against the median for that level specifically, never a single cutoff for the whole org, and flags anyone at or above one and a half times it. In the worked example, a 22-person engineering org at Marloe Logistics splits into three levels with medians of 15, 21.5 and 27 months. Five people sit at or past 1.5 times their level's own median: two at L3, two at L4, one at L5.
A tenure flag is not the finding. Each of the five gets checked against the Promotion Case Tracker and their most recent rating. One is already in an active case, so counting them again would double the number for no reason. What is left, four people rated Meets or better with no case on file, is the actual overlooked list: 18.2 percent of the org, sitting well past the norm for their level, that nobody has put forward.
Cornell research found that employees nominated for a top rating but denied it were at least 34 percent more likely to leave voluntarily. The denial came from a forced quota, where no more than one in five could be rated exceptional (Cornell Chronicle). A promotion case that never gets built is a similar kind of overlooked. Calibration catches a rating that cannot be trusted; this catches a good rating that never turned into a case.
