How we work
We count the cost before we build. Clear scope, fixed fees and work done in full.
1. A 30-minute call
We learn about your company, your pay setup and what's not working. No pitch deck.
2. A fixed proposal
Within a few days you get a written scope, timeline and fixed fee. No hourly billing.
3. The work
We start with a short data request, then deliver in weekly steps with a clear owner on your side.
4. Keep it current
Many clients continue on a monthly Governance plan so ranges, cycles and rules stay up to date.
Your data stays protected
- A signed services agreement and data processing addendum before any employee data is shared
- Pseudonymized employee IDs, never names, wherever possible
- Encrypted file transfer and storage
- Your data is deleted or returned at the end of the engagement
- Market survey data stays licensed in your company's name
We work beside your team
- We work with your HR, finance and sales leaders, not around them
- Pay equity analysis is done at the direction of your counsel, so findings can stay privileged
- We prepare policies and plan documents for your counsel to review
- We work with the HR and compensation tools you already use
Common questions
Do you show prices?
Every engagement is a fixed fee or a flat monthly plan. Because scope depends on your size and needs, we quote after a short call, in writing, before any work starts.
Do you replace our compensation software?
No. We work with your HRIS and compensation tools and help you get more out of them. We don't sell software or take vendor referral fees.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. We're compensation consultants. We work alongside your employment counsel, who confirms the legal requirements that apply to you.
We only have employees in the US. Is this for us?
Yes. Most of our work is for US companies: state pay transparency rules, salary ranges, merit cycles, sales plans and manager training.
Is everything remote?
Yes. We work by video call and secure file sharing, wherever your teams are.
