What this demo is

A working recreation of the salary benchmarking and offer drafting pilot described in the case study. Every computed figure on the requisition you have open — every percentile, band edge, observation count, weight and spread — is clickable, and every click ends at the comparator rows and the arithmetic that produced it. The only bare numerals are the floor’s own thresholds and the internal band edges: those cite an agreement with people operations and finance, not a computation, and the screens say so where they appear. The comparator data is invented; the weight table, the evidence floor and the refusals are the real ones.

The four rules it makes visible

1. Numbers are rule, prose is model. No percentile, band edge or offer figure passes through a language model, and the screen says which is which.

2. A figure with no source does not render. There is no fallback estimate and no “approximately” — the cell says what is missing instead.

3. Four evidence-floor rules can each refuse a whole role. A refusal names the rule and what would clear it; it never widens the band to cover thin data. A refusal here wears the product’s own colour, not an error state, because it is the product working.

4. It drafts a range and never a number, and the range stops at the market median. Paying above that is a decision a person makes and signs, not a default the tool hands over.

Every comparator source, observation count, percentile, band, role, requisition and figure on this page is invented for the demo. No employee’s pay, no candidate, no real survey and no real offer appears here, and by design none could: the tool holds aggregate comparator rows, never individual compensation records. The internal distribution on the equity screen is suppressed below eight people in a band, which is the same rule the pilot runs.
