HSG Classification & Compensation Platform
One platform that runs your entire classification and compensation study — your data in one secure workspace, structured input from the people who do the work, and every step visible to you as it happens, with every decision on the record.
How your study runs
From kickoff to a defensible result, on one set of rails.
Your own workspace
Your study gets a secure, branded workspace at its own address, stood up before kickoff — your roles, your review tiers, your evaluation framework.
Your data, organized
Your roster, classification specs, salary schedules, and MOUs come in through validated imports, with a live checklist showing exactly what has been received, verified, and baselined.
Your people, heard
Your employees record real workdays in structured activity logs, with questionnaires and tiered focus sessions — supervisors never grouped with their reports, identities protected.
Your study, end to end
Gap analysis, position descriptions your managers sign electronically, factor scoring with a recorded reconciliation, grade memos, market benchmarking, equity checks, and cost scenarios.
What the platform does
Every feature your study needs. Nothing off the record.
Role-walled access
An employee sees their own log. A manager sees status, never content. Executives see the study. Every wall is enforced server-side.
Evidence-cited PDs
Every duty statement carries its evidence — which logs, how often. Employee, supervisor, and HR sign electronically, on the record.
AI first-pass, expert decision
Analysis proposes factor scores; a credentialed evaluator scores independently; divergences close one by one, each with a named decider and written rationale.
Traceable market data
Every comparator match carries its source, effective date, and capture date. No number without a citation.
Live study status
You watch the study happen — intake, logs, PDs, scorecards, memos — instead of waiting months for a binder.
Complete audit trail
Every decision timestamped and attributed. When a grade is questioned in two years, the answer is retrieved, not reconstructed.
Cost scenarios
Implementation modeled before adoption — by classification, by policy choice, against the client's own salary structure.
Assignment engine
Study work routed, submitted, reviewed, and approved inside the platform — the delivery team works on the same rails you see.
