How we work

A methodology built on
statistical science

Every engagement follows the same rigorous process - no black-box outputs, no gamification, no pre-set reference classes.

01 - Data audit
Data validation

Validate compensation data - currency, missing values, structural issues - before any model runs.

02 - WIF check
WIF assessment

Test each control variable for correlation with protected characteristics. Tainted WIFs flagged before inclusion.

03 - OLS
Regression analysis

Multivariate OLS on log-salary with HC0 robust SEs. R2, p-values, t-statistics, and 95% CI surfaced explicitly.

04 - Decomposition
Oaxaca-Blinder

Proper two-fold decomposition with separate group regressions, separating explained from unexplained gap.

05 - Subgroups
Welch t-tests

Two-sample Welch t-tests per department, grade, location, and quartile. Glass ceiling detection via quantile regression.

06 - Budget
Remediation

Budget-constrained optimisation maximising gap reduction per euro. Individual adjustments with phased timelines.

07 - Reports
Regulatory output

Outputs mapped to EUPTD Articles 6, 7, 8, 9. Privileged analysis mode for legal counsel-directed audits.

Continuous monitoring

Quarterly re-run cadence with trend tracking. Real-time guardrails on hire and promotion salary decisions.
