## The panel's verdict

Mooncamp GmbH, registered in Cologne, emerges from the bench as an OKR and check-in platform rather than a full talent management suite. It is strongest at goals and feedback, where scores are a flat 6 from min to max: strategy broken into aligned goals and OKRs, weekly async check-ins, reminders via Slack, Microsoft Teams and email, and check-ins written inside Teams or Slack. It is weakest at learning and development, a flat 0, where the captured pages evidence goals, check-ins, dashboards and strategy maps and we found no public information on development plans, skills frameworks or succession. Performance reviews scores run 1-3, because the pages describe outcome-based business reviews of results and impact metrics rather than employee review cycles. No other criterion varies by more than a point — codetermination and privacy at 4-5, sovereignty at 6-7 on German hosting with EU-based processors and standard contractual clauses for US website services, integrations and portability at 4 — so the bench records no genuine split. Only a free trial is public on pricing.

**Speaks for it:**
- Goals and feedback scores a flat 6, on OKR alignment from strategy, weekly async check-ins and reminders via Slack, Microsoft Teams and email.
- Check-ins and goal updates can be written directly inside Microsoft Teams and Slack.
- Visibility is documented concretely: role- and entity-based access management, permissions by team membership, confidential goals private by default and a bilingual access-rights article.
- Sovereignty scores run 6-7, on Hetzner Cloud hosting in Germany, ISO 27001-certified data centres and hourly backups in European data centres.
- Goals and dashboards export to CSV, PDF and PNG.

**Held against it:**
- Learning and development scores a flat 0, and we found no public information on development plans, skills or competency frameworks, learning content or succession.
- Performance reviews scores run 1-3, and the pages evidence outcome-based business reviews of results and impact metrics rather than employee review cycles.
- We found no public information on an HRIS sync such as Personio or SAP SuccessFactors, SCIM provisioning or a documented API.
- Documented export covers goal views and dashboards, and we found no public information on export of review and feedback history.
- We found no public information on a published subprocessor list, and the only pricing statement on the captured pages is a free trial.

**Best for:**
- You are buying an OKR platform first — goal alignment from strategy, weekly async check-ins and Teams and Slack reminders are what the pages evidence and where scores peak at 6.
- Your works council needs documented visibility rules before signing — role- and entity-based access, confidential goals private by default and an express statement of no automated decision-making or profiling under Art. 22 GDPR give concrete material.
- You need hosting in Germany — the security page names Hetzner Cloud hosting in Germany with ISO 27001-certified data centres and hourly backups stored in European data centres.

**Avoid if:**
- You need a structured employee review cycle with rating scales, calibration and employee sign-off — performance reviews scores run 1-3 and the pages evidence business reviews of outcome metrics instead.
- You need development plans, skills frameworks or succession views — learning and development is a flat 0 and the captured module list is Goals & OKRs, Dashboards, Check-ins and Strategy Maps.
- You rely on HRIS sync, SCIM provisioning or a documented API — we found no public information on these, and export covers goals and dashboards rather than review and feedback history.
- You must compute an annual cost before talking to sales — pricing transparency scores run 0-1, and a free trial is the only public statement.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price.

### The judges

- **The Head of HR** (v1.0): Runs the annual review cycle for four hundred people and has to defend every rating in it. Wants criteria fixed before the cycle starts, calibration across departments, reminders that chase managers so HR does not have to, and a review history the employee can see and sign.
- **The Managing Director** (v1.0): Runs a sixty-person company without a talent team and wants goals everyone can see, regular one-to-ones that actually happen, and a yearly conversation that is prepared rather than improvised. Has no patience for a suite that needs a consultant before the first review goes out.
- **The People Analyst** (v1.0): Owns the skills model, the succession bench and the training budget. Wants skills profiles with gaps against role requirements, learning tied to those gaps rather than to a course catalogue, talent reviews per key role, and data that can be exported and analysed outside the tool.
- **The Works Council Member** (v1.0): Has to sign the works agreement before any of this goes live. Asks who can read a manager's private note, how small a team may be before survey results stop being anonymous, how long ratings are kept, and whether any AI feature summarises or scores colleagues without a human deciding.
- **The HR IT Integrator** (v1.0): Connects the tool to the HR system and the identity provider and will be asked for the data when the contract ends. Wants org chart and manager relations synced from the HRIS, SSO and SCIM, a documented API, and a full export of reviews and goals rather than one PDF per person.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has heard "high-performance culture", "bias-free reviews" and "AI-powered growth" from every vendor. Reads for the anonymity threshold behind the anonymous survey, what the AI review summary was built from, whether the "skills engine" is more than a tag list, and whether five years of reviews leave with the customer.
