Puvio
In short
Ask in a meeting, with a number, and with work you already wrote down. Do not drop a manifesto in Slack on a Friday. Log wins when they happen. Before the conversation, polish a short list of shipped work with metrics your manager can reuse in their own room. State the number or band you want and why the scope matches. Puvio is the vault and the export. It is not a negotiation coach and it will not email your manager. Wins is $5/month. Complete at $29 already includes the vault. A raise is not the same as a promotion packet. Kenji Watanabe used the vault for a skip-level rating. Lena Vasquez used it for calibration. Bring receipts either way.

Write the work down before you need it
Log wins when they ship. A raise talk in September cannot recover January from memory.
Polish a short evidence list
Scope, metrics, who else saw it. Export from Puvio if that is where the vault lives. One to two pages, not a memoir.
Book a meeting and say the number
Compensation conversation, not a vague “how am I doing.” A band or a percent. They cannot advocate without a target.
Leave them something they can forward
Your manager argues in rooms you are not in. A PDF or bullets they can paste beats a speech they have to reconstruct.
A raise is more money in the same seat. A promotion is a new level and usually a packet. Do not mix the asks in one dump unless your company uses one process for both.
Puvio’s brag export is useful for either. The conversation is still yours. https://puvio.app/answers/how-to-document-wins-for-promotion
Numbers, scope, customers, reliability. Not “I have grown a lot this year.” Kenji’s director quoted a migration metric from a one-pager. Story: https://puvio.app/stories/skip-level-evidence
