Use Case
Stay competitive with live market benchmarks
In comp, you’re frequently asked how your ranges compare to the market.
“Our midpoint is at p75 - but is it, really?”
Validating a range used to mean pulling survey cuts, reconciling sources that don’t agree, and building a piecemeal spreadsheet. With Analyst Agent, you get market percentiles mapped against your range min/mid/max in a single prompt.

Use case
Benchmarking and Range Validation
Business problem
Most teams find out their ranges are out of date when an offer exception appears or a candidate says no. Without a fast validation loop, range refreshes are slow, inconsistent, and often incomplete, resulting in avoidable offer exceptions and internal equity exposure.
Compa sample prompt
“Validate our Software Engineering IC4 base salary range in the San Francisco Bay Area against market. Show market p50 and p75, and where our min, mid, and max land relative to each.”
Prompt variations
What you get
- Clear market position for each range point including dollar values and percentile positioning
- Implied positioning for every cut (e.g., “midpoint is at p63,” “max falls below p75”)
- A full population view for multi-level or multi-geo refreshes
- Ranges with data to support them so you can be confident going into leadership discussions
What this replaces
- Manual survey downloads and spreadsheet lookups
- Reconciling sources that pull from different cuts and don’t quite agree
- Spot-checking a handful of high-visibility roles while the rest go unreviewed
- Repeated back-and-forth interpreting what a range “means” relative to market
Time saved
