Corporate governance 2.0 · A to F · Independent

Your company already has a grade.

Employees get a vote on whether the performance system works. Each company is graded A to F on six pillars, from its public plan documents and from verified employees, whether or not it takes part. Not another ESG score: we check whether the system is in place, and whether the people inside agree it works.

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

Verified, anonymous, and read by the board.

Employees prove they work there, then their names come off. Each question is asked twice: how the process is supposed to work, and what actually happened to them. Management, the board and the public read the same page.

03 / Method

Two views of every company, one A to F scale.

01

The bones: what the company files

Proxies, bonus and equity plans, and other public filings show the plan design: who is eligible, the performance conditions, how awards vest. Plan design, not pay amounts. Works before a single employee takes part.

02

Alignment: what verified employees report

Every question is asked twice: the official process, and what happened to me. The closer the two, the stronger the signal. A lean system people trust is still a good system.

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, never a low one. Read the full method →

04 / Free diagnostic

Grade your own employer in five minutes.

Ten questions about how goals, feedback and ratings actually work where you work. You get an instant pillar-level read, with no email and no sign-up, and your answers add to your employer's Pulse. The A to F grade counts verified employees only.

Internal audits run with a small group of operators, HR leaders and boards while the methodology hardens: verified employee assessments, process-versus-experience alignment, and a board-ready report. Request access and we reply personally.
