**Support we can offer:** [training, coaching, resources]
**Plan length:** [e.g. 30/60/90 days]

Draft a PIP with: the purpose (a genuine chance to succeed), each gap described factually, measurable goals with deadlines, support provided, check-in schedule, how progress will be assessed, and possible outcomes.

Tone: respectful, factual, and specific — no vague judgments ("bad attitude"). Also give me talking points for the conversation. Check with HR or legal on local requirements before issuing.
