Paste your notes or a rough draft. Get back a self-review that says what you did and why it mattered, with nothing made up. Your work, fully counted.
Here's what the research shows. Women often describe the same performance less favorably than men do, even when there's nothing to gain by being modest. Writing from evidence, what you did and what changed because of it, keeps the review about the work.
That's why the writer never adds numbers or results you didn't give it. Where a result would help, it leaves a [placeholder] and asks you a question, so every line is yours and true.

After your first draft, you'll see the habit that tends to show up here, plus one small shift to try.
Start with a list of what you did this period, even messy notes. For each one, add what changed because of it: time saved, money, a problem solved, a person helped. Open with one or two sentences on your biggest contributions, then a short bullet for each win. Paste your notes above and the writer drafts it for you.
Your biggest results, the work behind them, how you helped your team, an honest line on anything that didn't go to plan and what you did about it, and your focus for next period if you know it.
Stick to facts. "I cut month-end close from 8 days to 5" isn't bragging, it's information your manager needs. Bragging is hype. Describing your work accurately is your job in a review.
No. It only uses what you give it. If a result or number would make a line stronger, it puts a [placeholder] there and asks you about it. You fill in the truth.
Say what happened and what you did about it, without blaming yourself. "After vendor delays moved the launch to Q3, I rebuilt the timeline and launched on Sept 15" shows ownership and judgment.
