Independent · Evidence over opinion

Your company already has a grade.

Every company is graded on what it says it rewards and what actually happens, using public filings and verified employees, whether it takes part or not. This isn’t an ESG score. We don’t grade intentions, we grade results.

Company profiles and the Pulse are open to everyone. Your own organization's internal audit is by invitation.

B
Five of six pillars are aligned: what employees live matches the stated process. Calibration is the gap. It looks rigorous on paper, and employees say it doesn't work that way.

Public-evidence score

Grades from public evidence are opinions, not statements of fact. Employee grades count verified employees only.

The public-evidence score is its own measure: how fully a company discloses its performance and pay plans in its filings. It is not an average of the pillar letters, so it can sit above or below them. Pillar cells are an early, provisional read of public evidence; — means there isn't enough to grade that pillar.

02 / Inside the platform

Policy says one thing. Employees report what happened.

Every reviewer is a verified employee, and their name is removed before anything is published. For each question we ask how the process is supposed to work and what actually happened. The score is the gap between the two. Management, the board and the public see the same numbers.

03 / Method

What the company promises vs. what actually happens. Universally graded.

01

The bones: what the company files

SEC filings, annual reports and incentive plans show the plan design: who is eligible, the performance conditions, how awards vest. Plan design and pay amounts. Works before a single employee takes part.

02

The reality: what verified employees report

We ask employees how the process is supposed to work, then what actually happened to them. A small gap means the system works. A lean system that delivers beats a heavy one that doesn’t.

03

A fixed, open standard

Grades are set against a published bar, so adding companies never moves anyone's grade. Employee grades publish at three verified people. Too little evidence means no grade. Read the full method →
