What problem does it solve? Founders struggle to design pay structures that are equitable, affordable, and aligned with business outcomes without deep HR expertise. This Skill turns compensation decisions into an evidence-backed, constraint-aware process with clear recommendations and monitoring. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Reward Philosophy & Benchmarking: Define a reward philosophy, benchmark roles, set salary ranges, and assess internal pay equity. - Incentive Design & Cost Modeling: Design incentives and model total cost plus behavior risk, simulated against the Business Digital Twin. - Decision & Monitoring Records: Produce ranked options, risk-adjusted recommendations, KPIs (range penetration, pay equity, regrettable attrition, incentive efficiency), and escalation rules. - Use Case: A founder asks how to structure pay for a growing team without exceeding cash limits; the Skill benchmarks roles, compares at least three feasible options, and recommends the highest confidence-weighted plan with approval routing. ## Quick Start Use the compensation-and-rewards skill to design a salary banding and incentive plan for my 20-person startup within our current cash constraints.
