Why teams migrate off Lattice

These are the three signals we hear most from HR leaders before they start a migration conversation:

💸

Add-on pricing that compounds

Lattice starts at $11/user/month — just reviews and goals. Engagement surveys, career development, compensation planning are each separate line items. By the time you have feature parity with Confirm, you're at $25+/user. For a 500-person company, that gap is $80,000/year.

🤖

AI that only reads what people type

Lattice AI Agent is genuinely useful for summarizing forms and writing reviews faster. What it can't do: see collaboration patterns, detect early retention risk from behavioral signals, or coach managers proactively. It's working from text. Confirm works from behavior.

🔍

No visibility into how people actually work

Lattice shows you what gets typed into forms. Confirm adds Organizational Network Analysis — revealing who really drives results, who's about to disengage, and who's holding teams together invisibly. That's not available in Lattice at any price.

What transfers from Lattice

Everything you've built in Lattice comes with you. Nothing gets left behind.

Historical review cycles

All past performance reviews, ratings, and written feedback export cleanly. Full history preserved in Confirm.

Goals and OKRs

Goal history, completion data, alignment structure, and active OKRs all migrate. Teams pick up where they left off.

Employee profiles and org data

All employee records, reporting relationships, and org structure transfer. Syncs with your HRIS going forward.

Competency frameworks

Custom competencies, career ladders, and rating scales you've built in Lattice can be recreated or imported in Confirm.

1:1 notes and feedback

Manager-employee notes, continuous feedback threads, and check-in history all export and import cleanly.

Engagement survey history

Historical survey responses and scores migrate for benchmark continuity. New surveys run natively in Confirm.

How the Lattice migration works

We've migrated dozens of teams off Lattice. Here's the exact process:

1
Week 1

Data audit & Lattice export

We review your Lattice configuration — review cycles, competencies, integrations, custom fields. Then we guide your admin through the full data export. Lattice exports are straightforward but have known quirks we handle for you.

What we export: Reviews, goals, employees, feedback, surveys, competency frameworks, org structure
2
Week 2–3

Confirm setup & data import

We configure your review cycles, competency frameworks, and org structure in Confirm. Your HRIS integrates (Workday, Rippling, BambooHR, Deel, ADP — all supported). Historical data imports and gets validated. ONA data collection goes live.

You get: Fully configured Confirm environment, HRIS sync, historical data imported, SSO set up
3
Week 4

Manager training & change management

We train your HR team and managers on Confirm's interface, how to read ONA dashboards, and how the AI coaching works. We provide communication templates for your company announcement. Average manager training time: 45 minutes.

Included: HR admin training, manager training sessions, company announcement templates, FAQ document

Week 5

Go live with full support

Company-wide launch. Your migration rep is available throughout launch week and your first review cycle. Most teams see 90%+ adoption in week one. We track completion rates and surface any adoption issues before they become problems.

Ongoing: Dedicated success rep, live support during first cycle, ONA insights start appearing within 2-3 weeks

What's different in Confirm vs. Lattice

The workflows are similar. The data layer is completely different.

Performance Reviews
Lattice

Form-based review cycles with customizable templates. Review summaries can be AI-drafted. Rating calibration done in spreadsheets or Lattice Calibration module (add-on).

Confirm

Same review cycle structure, but calibration surfaces ONA data alongside ratings. Managers see behavioral evidence for every rating — not just what the reviewee wrote about themselves.

Manager Coaching
Lattice

Manager 1:1 templates, goal check-ins, and feedback prompts. Lattice AI can summarize conversations and suggest talking points at review time.

Confirm

AI coaching in Slack/Teams, proactively. Manager gets nudged when a team member's collaboration pattern changes — before it shows up in a survey. Real-time, not retrospective.

Retention Risk
Lattice

Engagement surveys flag disengagement. By the time a survey shows low engagement, the mental exit has usually already happened. Reactive by design.

Confirm

ONA detects collaboration withdrawal weeks before disengagement surfaces in a survey. HR sees risk while there's still time to intervene — typically 6-8 weeks earlier.

Pricing
Lattice

$11/user base + $4 surveys + $4 career development + $6 compensation. Add-ons required to match full functionality.

Confirm

One all-in price. ONA, AI coaching, reviews, goals, surveys, compensation, career — all included. No add-on surprises at renewal.

Migration questions answered

How long does the Lattice migration take?

Most teams complete the migration in 4-6 weeks. The timeline depends on your data volume, HRIS integration complexity, and review cycle timing. We work around your schedule — many teams migrate at contract renewal to avoid overlap costs.

What happens to our Lattice data?

All of it comes with you. Historical reviews, goals, feedback, and employee records export and import cleanly. We handle the transformation so data arrives in Confirm in the right format. Nothing gets left behind.

Can we run Lattice and Confirm at the same time?

Yes. Many teams run a pilot with one department in Confirm before migrating fully. Parallel operation is fine during evaluation. We just ask you don't run two active review cycles for the same people simultaneously.

What if we're mid-review-cycle in Lattice?

We recommend completing your current cycle in Lattice, then migrating before the next one launches. If timing requires an in-flight migration, we've handled that too — it adds about a week to the timeline.

Do our managers have to relearn everything?

Confirm's review workflow is familiar — same basic structure as Lattice. The additions (ONA dashboard, AI coaching nudges) are additive, not replacements. Most managers say Confirm is simpler than Lattice after 30 minutes of training.

What about our Lattice contract?

We can't break your contract, but we can help you time the migration to minimize overlap costs. Many teams migrate at renewal. Some negotiate early exits when savings offset the fee. Talk to us about timing and we'll help you think through it.
