THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Existing tools tell you what happened yesterday.
TrueComp Intelligence tells you where you stand right now — and warns you what’s coming before it costs you. Compression hiding in a pay structure. Equity drift across peer groups. A new hire offer that creates a structural problem the day they start.
Public agencies make multi-million-dollar workforce decisions on data they privately doubt. TrueComp Intelligence changes that — combining philosophy definition, AI-based data ingestion, real-time benchmarking, and predictive scenario modeling into a single continuous, always-on platform built exclusively for government.
PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Ten capabilities. One continuous intelligence loop.
Compensation Philosophy Definition
WHAT IT DOES
- Define your agency’s target market position — e.g., pay at the 60th percentile of total compensation against your defined peer group.
- Continuously measures actual pay against that target so you see drift in real time, not years later in a consultant’s report.
- Automatic philosophy drift alerts fire when the agency’s position moves outside the target band you’ve set.
- Pre-decision philosophy check — before any pay change is finalized, the platform flags anything that would push you further from target.
- One stated target, one source of truth — HR, Finance, elected officials, and the bargaining table all working from the same documented strategy.
AI-Based Data Ingestion
WHAT IT DOES
- Accepts your data in whatever format you have it — salary schedules, job descriptions, benefit summaries, MOU documents, cost records, and more. No reformatting required.
- Advanced AI extraction pulls classifications, pay ranges, benefit values, MOU terms, and cost components out of unstructured source files with high accuracy.
- Handles mixed inputs — a PDF salary schedule, an Excel cost summary, a Word MOU, and a scanned benefit document can all be ingested in the same workflow.
- Faster implementation — drastically reduces the weeks of manual data prep that traditionally front-load any workforce analytics rollout.
Unlimited Comparator Selection
WHAT IT DOES
- Unlimited flexibility to select comparator sets by job — ensuring the right amount of relevant data for any compensation decision.
- Select by radius — pull agencies within a defined distance so your cohort reflects your actual labor market.
- Select by state — build state-specific cohorts that reflect the same regulatory, pension, and labor environment.
- Select by population size — compare against agencies of similar scale, scope, and operating complexity.
- Defensible methodology — a clear comparator rationale lets you defend pay decisions to councils, unions, and auditors.
AI Job Matching & Taxonomy
WHAT IT DOES
- Proprietary TrueComp Job Taxonomy — a public-sector-specific classification system organizing roles by actual function, not title.
- AI-based matching reads your current job descriptions and titles, maps them to the correct taxonomy code automatically.
- Handles cross-jurisdiction title drift — knows that a “Senior Civil Engineer” in one city may be a “Principal Engineer” in another.
- Confidence scoring on every match — flags ambiguous or low-confidence matches for your review.
- Taxonomy-driven benchmarking — once matched, every comp comparison runs against taxonomy peers, not title peers.
Compensation Benchmarking
WHAT IT DOES
- Role-level, not aggregate — TrueComp Intelligence benchmarks the actual role, not a department-wide mean.
- Total compensation view — base + benefits + special pay + retirement + incentives, all in one number.
- Market positioning at 25th, 50th, 75th percentile — and any custom percentile your philosophy requires.
- Continuous refresh — as comparator data updates, your benchmarks update. No annual cycle.
- Government-only data — no private-sector noise polluting your peer comparisons.
Market Summary Dashboard
WHAT IT DOES
- Live positioning dashboard — every classification, every department, every percentile in one view.
- Philosophy alignment overlay — see at a glance which roles are on-target and which have drifted outside your philosophy band.
- Real-time comparator selection — switch your comparator list on the fly and watch positioning recalculate immediately.
- Board-ready export — clean, presenter-ready visuals for councils, boards, and executive meetings without reformatting.
AI Job Description Optimization
WHAT IT DOES
- Benchmarks your JDs against taxonomy peers — compares your current description against how leading agencies describe the same role.
- Incorporates ONET best practices — pulls in Department of Labor occupational standards to suggest modernized language, competencies, and requirements.
- Surfaces outdated language and missing competencies — flags requirements no longer standard, highlights modern skills your JD doesn’t mention.
- Generates suggested rewrites — full draft revisions you can accept, edit, or reject, not just a red-pen review.
- Feeds directly into better benchmarking — optimized JDs produce more accurate taxonomy matches and more accurate benchmarks.
Pay Compression Risk Detection
WHAT IT DOES
- Continuous scanning of your positional pay structure — analyzes differentials between classifications, grades, and steps to identify structural compression.
- Compression risk flagged at the structural level — surfaces classifications or step relationships where the spread has narrowed below a healthy threshold.
- Leapfrog effect detection — catches when the pay structure places a subordinate classification above a supervisory one.
- Supervisor squeeze alerts — flags where the differential between supervisor and direct-report classifications has compressed to create a promotion disincentive.
- Pre-decision compression check — before any pay change is finalized, TrueComp Intelligence shows the compression impact it would create.
Internal Equity Risk Identification
WHAT IT DOES
- Automatic peer group formation — groups jobs across departments and divisions that share similar requirements, duties, and scope.
- Threshold-based equity checking — you define the acceptable pay range within a peer group and TrueComp Intelligence flags any job outside it.
- Continuous equity monitoring — any job that falls outside the defined threshold is flagged as a potential internal equity issue.
- Pre-decision equity check — before any pay change, promotion, or reclassification, TrueComp Intelligence shows whether the change would push a job outside the peer group threshold.
- Surfaces equity drift — as market adjustments accumulate, TrueComp Intelligence watches for peer groups that have slowly drifted apart.
What-If Scenario Modeling
WHAT IT DOES
- Model pay changes for philosophy compliance — simulate adjustments designed to bring your agency in line with your target market position.
- Downstream equity impact — every modeled change shows which peer groups would be pushed outside your defined equity threshold as a result.
- Downstream compression impact — every modeled change shows the structural compression it would create in your pay plan.
- Before/after analysis of the affected cohort — side-by-side view showing current state and post-scenario state.
- Scenario adjustment builder — iterate on your proposed change set until you find a scenario that’s philosophy-compliant without creating new problems.
- Stakeholder-ready report output — export the final scenario for review with HR leadership, Finance, councils, and boards.
