Compensation Benchmarking Reports
Role-level benchmark reports against blended public and aggregated market data - every role on a single $/year scale, with the internal target marked, the band parity checked, and every endpoint sourced.
What the managed workflow does
Blends 3 + 1 sources
Radford, Levels.fyi, and Pave aggregated comps weighted against your own internal peer-set survey - outliers flagged, not silently dropped.
Maps every role onto one scale
ICs and managers on the same $/year axis at P25 / P50 / P75 / P90. Your internal target sits on the same field, so over- and under-paid roles are obvious in one glance.
Checks band parity
Looks across roles for level inversions, gender / tenure gaps, and offers that hire above-band - the exceptions a recruiter would otherwise discover at offer time.
Refreshes on a schedule
Quarterly survey refresh + monthly internal recalibration. The pack is dated, sourced, and rerun - not a one-time PDF that drifts off market.
Roles benchmarked at P25 → P90 against the market on one $/year scale

What lands on the page
Inputs to the benchmark
Public + aggregated surveys. Radford / Levels.fyi / Pave normalized to your level framework, geo, and stage.
Internal peer set. 14 named peers with size / stage / sector match - you decide which companies belong, not the survey.
Level framework. Your job architecture (IC1–6 · M1–4) maps to each source's leveling so comparisons are apples-to-apples.
Internal pay record. Live offers, current employees, and band history feed the parity check and gap analysis.
What lands in the report
Football-field benchmark. Every role on a single $/year scale with P25–P90 outer band and P50–P75 competitive zone.
Internal target overlay. Where your band sits today, plotted against the blended market - under / on / over flagged.
Band parity findings. Level inversions, manager-IC compression, and offer-to-band drift surfaced with named exceptions.
Source-trace per number. Every endpoint links to the survey row, peer record, or internal offer it came from.
What you get, every week
A defensible band
Three sources blended with named peer comparators - comp committee gets a range with provenance, not a number from a guess.
A live workbook
Workbook with linked tabs (Survey, Peers, Levels, Bands, Field) and a one-click refresh tied to your level framework.
Quarterly refresh + parity sweep
Quarterly market refresh, monthly internal recalibration, and a parity sweep that flags compression and inversions before offers go out.
