SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you prepare for salary and compensation negotiations so you can confidently counter an offer with research-backed numbers and clear talking points.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Market rate research & compensation range building: Gathers and validates compensation benchmarks (e.g., base, bonus, equity signals) and turns them into low/target/high/stretch ranges.
  • Total compensation strategy (not just base): Calculates total compensation using base, bonus, equity, signing bonus, benefits, and perks, then prioritizes what to negotiate.
  • Counter-offer scripts for email and calls: Produces ready-to-use counter-offer frameworks and scenario-specific responses for common negotiation obstacles.

Quick Start

Ask for a negotiation plan by saying: "Help me negotiate this offer—here is my role, location/remote setup, years of experience, current comp, and the offer details; give me a market range, total comp breakdown, my counter numbers, and an email + call script tailored to their likely pushback."
