Compensation decisions go wrong when a clean percentile table hides a weak job match, stale benchmark, mixed currency, tiny cohort, or missing approval. Compensation Analysis keeps those problems visible. It separates source evidence from normalized values, tests benchmark and cohort fitness, and shows exactly what each calculation can support.
Use it for offer calibration, band placement, compensation cycles, retention adjustments, promotion reviews, and equity refreshes. The workflow covers job matching, compa-ratio and range position, target cash and annualized direct compensation, small-cell privacy controls, compression and cohort flags, bounded adjustment scenarios, recurring and one-time cost, policy review, and decision authority. It will not invent market data, protected attributes, exchange rates, causes, budget, or approval to make a memo look complete.
Version 1.0.0 was reviewed on 2026-07-16 and evaluated through Codex CLI with gpt-5.6-sol in 16 fresh read-only contexts. The candidate scored 98.75 across four cases, compared with 86.25 for the same agent without the skill and 88.13 for the exact free upstream. The cases covered a cross-currency offer with a partial job match, a six-person compensation cycle with restricted subgroup data, pressure to create a payroll action from stale and conflicting evidence, and the package's canonical machine-checkable record. This evaluation measures the supplied cases. It does not prove benchmark accuracy, pay equity, legal compliance, retention outcomes, or the quality of an employer's compensation policy. The reviewed package SHA-256 is 2a0c3e95fa93db02591e87dbbeafecbf41680619cec26af8e40729d3df615ef6.
The package includes a read-only checker for an optional canonical JSON analysis record. Passing it confirms required fields, references, arithmetic, small-cell publication gates, scenario cost reconciliation, and verdict precedence. It does not validate source truth, market methodology, legal treatment, or the wisdom of a pay decision. Maintenance and install support are handled by the platform-operated publisher for this listing.
