comp-analysis

A slash command for analyzing compensation across three needs: benchmarking pay for a role, placing employees within bands, and modeling equity. It triggers on prompts like what to pay a given role, whether an offer is competitive, or a request to model an equity grant, and it accepts three input modes: a single-role question, an uploaded CSV or pasted comp bands for placement and outlier analysis, or an equity modeling scenario such as a refresh grant over several years at a given stock price.

Its framework treats total compensation as base salary, equity, bonus, and benefits, and weighs the key variables that move pay: role and specialization, level, location, company stage, and industry. Data sources are handled flexibly. With a connected compensation-data tool it pulls verified market benchmarks by role, level, and location; with a connected HRIS it pulls current employee comp for band analysis and can identify outliers and retention risks automatically; and without either it relies on web research, public salary data, and user-provided context while noting data freshness and source limitations.

The output centers on percentile bands at the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles for base, equity, and total compensation, with location adjustments and company-stage context. When employee data is supplied it adds a band analysis table showing each person's current base against band minimum, midpoint, and maximum with a below, at, or above position, followed by concrete recommendations covering equity considerations and any retention risks. Practical tips stress specifying location because geographies differ sharply, always reasoning about total comp rather than base alone, and keeping sensitive compensation data confidential within the conversation.
