Not sure if it's helpful, but found out last year you can add 'intermediary reviewers' so that it's not going from the author all the way up the chain to the RO (potentially skipping most of the CoC). That was something the Pace manager could add on, but may have been a unit thing where they decided the RO was going to be the section heads (so Cdr level, or civi equivalent).
Now potentially the upper parts of the CoC are left off the review, but at least you can click on the PARs in the pace module and read all the ones for whoever is below you.
This was passed on during the pilot as well, but for whatever reason they like it this way. Does keep less people in the review loop for speed, but means that parmon will be making the same corrections a lot because now there are way more silos. At least on the ships, a lot of that was picked up and corrected within the departmental review before permon saw it because it all funneled through a few people.
Definitely some weird ass scoring criteria; still unclear what 'envisioning' and 'innovation' actually mean, or how that's relevant to most jobs that aren't looking at strategic big picture things.
