01 — The Thesis

Payroll is every company's largest expense. Its pricing is a black box.

Two companies, same city, same roles — one spends 18% more on payroll and never knows. Compensation surveys arrive annually, stale on delivery. Payroll providers hold the data but publish none of it.

The market has waited for a neutral benchmark: what does a workforce actually cost, by role, by market, by industry? The answer will live at a name that says exactly what it does.

"Every CFO asks the same question in every board meeting: are we overpaying for talent? Nobody has a definitive answer."
