How does CompReason build a pay rationale?
Give it a role, region, and seniority and it frames the pay-band narrative: why the number sits where it does, plus an equity or bonus structure and talking points. The output is written to survive scrutiny from finance and the candidate alike.
Does it cover equity and bonus?
Yes. It includes an equity or bonus structure alongside the base narrative, so the full offer is explained, not just the salary line.
Who do the talking points help?
The talking points let a hiring manager explain the offer confidently in a live conversation, turning a spreadsheet figure into a defensible story.
Who is CompReason for?
It fits founders and HR leads who need a plain-language compensation case without building it from market data by hand.
When to skip CompReason and write it yourself
CompReason is built for one task: A defensible pay rationale, in plain language. It tracks and formats money, but it is not your accountant. Reconcile its numbers against your real records before anything goes to a customer or the tax authority.
