Why now
Per-seat modules and a minimum annual contract leave smaller teams with a meaningful cost and ownership incentive.

Performance management
Lattice
A focused, modern performance system for goals, reviews, one-to-ones, and calibration.

Displacement attractivenessResearch judgment, not market telemetryThe opening wedge
Win the migration before chasing parity.
Start with review cycles, goals, evidence, one-to-ones, calibration, and exports while explicitly excluding payroll and full HRIS scope.
Open-source position
Broad open HR systems exist, but few offer a focused modern replacement for the core Lattice workflow.
Hard truth
Employee data is sensitive, and review calibration plus organizational permissions require mature product judgment.
Recommended move
Build a narrow vertical suite with strong permissions and audit history.
- Model teams, cycles, goals, and permissions
- Run a complete review and calibration cycle
- Export a portable employee history
