SBI Format Feedback

SBI Format Feedback turns a supplied situation, observable behavior, and supported impact into a private or consented feedback draft without inventing evidence or creating a formal employment artifact.

Specific feedback names the shared situation, describes what another observer could recognize, and states only the impact the user supplied. A trait label, assumed motive, likely reaction, or plausible consequence is not evidence. When an incident, date, quotation, behavior, metric, or impact is missing, the gap stays visible.

This playbook drafts positive or developmental feedback and audits existing feedback. It does not turn SBI into a performance improvement plan, disciplinary warning, investigation finding, or employment decision. It preserves privacy and the supplied delivery channel, and public delivery requires a supplied recipient preference or consent.

False specificity is still false, even when the sentence follows the SBI format.

SIGNALS YOU NEED THIS

The feedback starts with attitude, intent, personality, or an unsupported always or never claim.

The user remembers a problem but cannot supply the situation, observable behavior, or impact.

A public message or formal performance document is being requested without the required human process or privacy basis.

REPLACES

Trait judgments, invented examples, assumed consequences, coerced reactions, and formal employment processes disguised as feedback.

PAIRS WITH

Annual Reviews, Coaching Models, and Goals. Investigations, discipline, PIPs, and employment decisions stay separate.

0 of 4 steps complete

STEP 01Lock the situation and delivery boundary

Record the feedback purpose, recipient, feedback giver, supplied date or period, shared context, delivery channel, and privacy constraint. Do not choose a plausible incident or move private feedback to a public channel.

RECIPIENT IDENTIFIER
  F-31
PURPOSE
  Reinforce
SITUATION
  August 6 planning meeting
DELIVERY CHANNEL
  Private written note
PUBLIC DELIVERY
  Not authorized. Recipient preference or consent not supplied.

STEP 02Separate observable behavior from judgment

Use only supplied actions or words that another observer could recognize. Remove motive, intent, personality, health, identity, protected-characteristic, attitude, always, and never claims unless the supplied evidence supports the full factual scope.

SUPPLIED BEHAVIOR
  The facilitator paused after two people disagreed, restated both concerns, and asked the group to test the assumptions.

NOT USED
  Great attitude
  Natural leader
  Knew exactly what everyone needed

OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOR GAP
  None for this incident.

STEP 03State only the supported impact

Name the effect the user supplied on a person, team, customer, work, or result. Do not invent a reaction, metric, consequence, source count, or causal claim. Use Impact needed when the input does not support a finished statement.

SUPPLIED IMPACT
  The group reached the required decision in the meeting.
UNSUPPORTED ADDITIONS
  No time saved, participant reaction, quotation, complaint count, or personality conclusion added.

SBI DRAFT
  During the August 6 planning meeting, you paused after two people disagreed, restated both concerns, and asked the group to test the assumptions. The group reached the required decision in the meeting.

STEP 04Invite perspective and keep formal processes separate

For developmental feedback, add a neutral perspective question and a specific requested behavior. Record an action only with a human owner, due date, and follow-up date. Refuse PIPs, disciplinary warnings, investigation findings, and employment decisions, then route them to the authorized formal performance process.

PERSPECTIVE QUESTION
  What context would you add about the supplied incident?
REQUESTED CHANGE
  Behavior needed from the feedback giver
ACTION OWNER
  Owner needed
DUE DATE
  Date needed
FOLLOW-UP
  Date needed
FORMAL PROCESS
  Not produced in SBI. Route separately to authorized humans.
