Use Case

Build an offer escalation package in minutes

When an above-range offer request lands in front of the comp team, the questions are always the same: 

Is this a market exception, a mis-level or has the market shifted?

You have to pull benchmarks, reconcile surveys and check internal offer patterns, determine the reason, and then build an escalation package that will hold up in front of leadership - all before the candidate accepts something else.

Analyst Agent gets you a decision-ready narrative in minutes.

Use case

Managing Offers and Escalations

Business problem

Responding to above-range requests without fast, consistent data you risk providing suggestions that are not defensible. Without a repeatable, quantified escalation package, above-range decisions are inconsistent and hard to govern.

Compa sample prompt

“Recruiting is requesting an above-max offer for a Senior Software Engineer (P4) in Seattle - $195k base and $350k new hire equity. Show me market p50, p75, and p90 for base and new hire equity, how our recent offers compare, whether the market has moved in the last 12 months, and draft an escalation summary with the key numbers tied to our exception criteria.”

Prompt variations

“Compare market pricing for this role at P4 vs. P5 in Seattle. If the above-max request aligns to the next level’s market, flag that as a potential mis-leveling signal.”

“For P4 SWE in Seattle, what’s the market offer acceptance rate trend over the last 12 months? Is competitiveness tightening?

What you get

  • A clear market position for the proposed package
  • Instant signal on whether this is a market exception, a leveling issue, or a selective overpay
  • A leadership-ready escalation summary
  • Consistent criteria applied every time

What this replaces

  • Manual benchmark pulls across surveys and spreadsheets 
  • Escalation suggestions built from inconsistent or unreliable inputs 
  • Follow-up pulls to confirm the escalation reason
  • The back-and-forth on which data to trust
