Mediocrity can be mitigated by making expectations clear for advancing to the next level in the organization, and the compensation increase one gets.
For example, master these 5 skills at level I, and we then meet to set up a process for learning the next 5 skills needed to advance to level II. Once you advance, you get +20% salary.
I think that seems like a good way of incentivizing performance and continued learning.

Or you can start doing super complicated things like "have 5 out of those 10 skills", but are they as valuable? Yeah, that's a pain. And then another company may value the skill differently, and you then have to just lose your employee to them because they'll pay them more but you won't because of your rigid structure. There's so many variables, uniformity here won't get you the best teams.
