Use Case
Answer a competing offer before you lose the employee
When a top employee surfaces a competing offer, the conversation can't wait for a benchmarking request to clear the queue. Comp gets looped in, the manager is anxious, and everyone needs to know the same thing fast:
Where does this employee stand relative to the market, and is the offer worth matching?
That’s hours of work for a decision that can’t wait.
Analyst Agent gives you a clear, market-backed answer that includes current pay, the competing offer, and benchmarks side by side in seconds.

Use case
Counteroffers
Business problem
Counteroffer decisions happen under pressure. Without fast, defensible market context, they are delayed, inconsistent, or purely reactive — creating both attrition risk and internal equity exposure. Successful enterprise businesses need to find balance between speed and protecting their compensation strategy.
Compa sample prompt
I have a critical Senior IC P4 Financial Planning and Analysis employee in the SF Bay Area currently making $175k TCC and $200k 1-year TDC. They've received a competing offer for $195k TCC and $220k 1-year TDC. Create a table to show me how their current comp and the competing offer compare to market offers.
Prompt variations
What you get
- A clear, side-by-side view of current comp, competing offer, and market benchmarks
- Immediate insight into whether the employee is underpaid, fairly positioned, or above market
- Verified market data with sample sizes and source transparency
- A defensible recommendation you can stand behind
- Clarity on whether this is an isolated case or part of a broader equity issue
Example output: SF Bay Area · Financial Planning and Analysis · Senior IC P4 · TCC + TDC · verified offer data
What this replaces
- Manual benchmarking across spreadsheets and survey tools while the manager waits for an answer
- Pulling and reconciling multiple survey cuts across sources to get a single defensible read
- Back-and-forth between the manager, HRBP, Comp, and People Analytics before anyone can say anything to the employee
- Informal, gut-feel counteroffer decisions made because there wasn't time to do it right
Time saved
Hours → seconds: What used to take hours of manual data pulling and reconciliation now takes seconds. Analyst Agent surfaces everything you need for a defensible recommendation in real-time.
