Market pay with its error bar shown — pick the precision you pay for.

A market price is not a number; it is a number with an error bar. Vendors sell you the number and hide the error. We show both — for your actual jobs — and each tier up tightens the bar. You operate within the error you can afford, and climb only when a tighter bar is worth the price.

The same role, at each precision tier

Software / product engineer, mid-career (R&D P3), US national

SOC observed
$98K ±$76K$790/yr

Public BLS data at occupation grain — one number covers every level of the job. Computed: the model's level span at occupation grain (p10 of the lowest level to p90 of the highest).

Modeled market
$98K ±$24K$1,490/yr

Our combined-source equation at Job × Level grain, with its real residual band. Computed: the live equation's p10–p90 residual band (holdout R²≈0.89).

The model calibrated on your own pay data, maintained as a connection. Projected: calibrating on your data is designed to roughly halve the residual. Labeled a projection until the tier ships.

Consortiumstaged
$98K ±$6Kstaged — talk to us

Real, anonymized peer pay for your niche — min-N protected, jobs auto-matched. Design target: the min-N peer spread of a contributing niche. The consortium is staged; this bar is the target, stated as such.

The bar is real: we compute the error on every figure and show it. Each tier up is a tighter error bar on the pay for your actual jobs — you pick the precision you need.

Market Pay

From public occupation-grain data to our modeled Job × Level grid (combined survey sources, holdout R²≈0.89) to tiers calibrated on your own data. Payroll-ready exports — data you can run, not homework.

Pay Systems

The analyst's output, pre-built: market-anchored ranges, bands, and grades ready to run — instead of raw data that needs an analyst to become a structure. Templated systems by compensation strategy, company size, and industry deliver the consultant step, pre-done.

Industry scopes: General (all functions) · Technology & Software · Professional Services · Industrial & Operations. Industry selects which functions the structure covers — our pay model carries no industry differential, so industry never changes a dollar. Templates are honestly industry-neutral on pay; we don't fabricate differentials the model can't support.

Consortium — the tightest bar there is

Real, anonymized peer pay for your niche. Participating in a traditional niche survey costs $15–20K+ all-in — $5–10K for the dataset, then roughly $10K of consultant work just to match your jobs to it. A consortium seat is a fraction of that: we match your jobs automatically, protect every cut with minimum-count rules, and you get your competitors' real pay plus a room of peers working the same problems.

Seats open niche by niche, priced on a ramp — value on day one from our modeled baseline plus anonymized contributors, sharpening as your niche fills in.
