01 —What it looks at

What it diagnoses

Whether pay, grades, incentives and benefits are fair, competitive and affordable, and whether managers can explain them. It tests internal equity, market position, cost and the rules behind pay decisions.

02 —What you get

What you receive

  • A view of pay against grades and the market
  • Findings on equity and cost, in plain language
  • Priority fixes, ranked by cost and risk

03 —Score bands

How to read the result

Each result falls into one of three bands. Every band is named in words, never shown by colour alone.

  1. Band 01

    Sound

    Pay decisions follow clear rules and hold up to scrutiny.

  2. Band 02

    Needs attention

    Gaps in equity, cost or explanation that will grow if left alone.

  3. Band 03

    At risk

    Pay can no longer be explained or afforded. Act before the next review cycle.

04 —Who it's for
