It looks like the same people doing broadly the same work with fewer layers. In practice it creates two or three genuinely different jobs, usually with a much wider span and considerably less support beneath them.<\/p>\n    <p>Nobody in the business has held those jobs, so nobody&#8217;s record is evidence for them.

If a role gains a function it has never carried, doubles its span, or starts reporting to an owner instead of an operator, that is a different job wearing an old title.

An assessment reads capability against a future role. Using it as retrospective evidence for a decision already made is both professionally improper and plainly visible to everybody involved.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div><h3>What if somebody fits no seat in the new structure?<\/h3><p>Then you have learned it early, with time to handle it properly.
