Interactive Structure Designer
Design, visualize, and validate salary structures using approved benchmark P50s, range spreads, midpoint progression, and overlap diagnostics — all in one interactive studio.
Designs salary structures using benchmark P50s, range spreads, midpoint progression, and overlap diagnostics. Validate against incumbent pay and pressure-test across geographic layers.
- Approved benchmark P50s (Governance)
- Incumbent base salaries
- Target range spread / progression policy
- Market norm (20–22%)
- Level-by-level structure table
- Range-overlap visualization
- Progression & overlap diagnostics
- Design recommendations
Pressure-test progression at M5-M6 and E2 with the comp committee, then layer geographic zones.

M5-M6 midpoint progression is 27% (above 20-22% market norm). Consider reducing midpoint target to ~$285K-$295K.
E2 spread (55%) exceeds target range (50-55%). Overlap with E1 is 35%, approaching the upper limit.
Large step from P6 → M5 (27%) with similar scope progression. Review title differentiation and span of control.
- Is scope expansion at M5-M6 intentional?
- Should E2 be capped at 50% spread?
- Are titles aligned to spans of control?
- Base Structure (Current)Active
- Scenario A - Tighter Progression-1.8% Payroll
- Scenario B - Lower Spreads-2.9% Payroll
- Share with Comp Committee
- Review geo layer impact
- Pressure-test with cost scenarios
