Compensation Framework

Components of Total Compensation

  • Base salary: Cash compensation

  • Equity: RSUs, stock options, or other equity

  • Bonus: Annual target bonus, signing bonus

  • Benefits: Health, retirement, perks (harder to quantify)

Key Variables

  • Role: Function and specialization

  • Level: IC levels, management levels

  • Location: Geographic pay adjustments

  • Company stage: Startup vs. growth vs. public

  • Industry: Tech vs. finance vs. healthcare

Data Sources

  • With ~~compensation data: Pull verified benchmarks

  • Without: Use web research, public salary data, and user-provided context

  • Always note data freshness and source limitations

Output

Provide percentile bands (25th, 50th, 75th, 90th) for base, equity, and total comp. Include location adjustments and company-stage context.

Copy & paste — that's it

If Connectors Available

If ~~compensation data is connected:

  • Pull verified market benchmarks by role, level, and location

  • Compare your bands against real-time market data

If ~~HRIS is connected:

  • Pull current employee comp data for band analysis

  • Identify outliers and retention risks automatically

Tips

  • Location matters — Always specify location for benchmarking. SF vs. Austin vs. London are very different.

  • Total comp, not just base — Include equity, bonus, and benefits for a complete picture.

  • Keep data confidential — Comp data is sensitive. Results stay in your conversation.
