The operating system for public sector compensation.

Only 22% of public agencies trust the pay data they use to make million-dollar decisions. TrueComp Intelligence is built for the other 78% — bringing Continuous Compensation Intelligence to the agencies that lead the market: compensation philosophy, AI data ingestion, benchmarking, equity and compression risk detection, and what-if scenario modeling, in one always-on platform. Know before you hire whether the offer you're about to make is competitive — and whether it will quietly create a compression or equity issue the day the new hire starts.

Five questions every agency should be able to answer

1. Are we currently aligned with our compensation philosophy — or have we drifted?
2. Where is the highest hidden compression risk in our pay structure?
3. Which roles are paid outside the equity threshold for their peer group?
4. If we make this market adjustment or extend this offer to a new hire, what equity and compression issues does it create downstream?
5. Is our Job Description up to date and does it accurately reflect the duties and requirements of the job?

The problem we solve

Existing tools tell you what happened yesterday.

TCI tells you where you stand right now — and warns you what's coming before it costs you. Compression hiding in a pay structure. Equity drift across peer groups. A new hire's offer that's about to create a structural problem the day they start. A market adjustment that will quietly break the bands you've spent two years defending.

Public agencies make multi-million-dollar workforce decisions on data they privately doubt. TrueComp Intelligence changes that — combining philosophy definition, AI-based data ingestion, real-time benchmarking, and predictive scenario modeling into a single continuous, always-on platform built exclusively for government.

Compensation Philosophy Definition

Turn your compensation philosophy into a living operating system.

Most agencies have a compensation philosophy document sitting on a shared drive — written once, referenced rarely, enforced never. TrueComp Intelligence operationalizes your philosophy: define your target market position, at the agency level, and the platform checks every decision against it continuously.

Why it matters: Without data, a compensation philosophy is just a statement. With TCI, it becomes a defensible framework — a reason to say "no" to arbitrary demands and "yes" to necessary adjustments, with a single stated target you can point to in every conversation.

AI-Based Data Ingestion

Bring your data as you have it. We do the rest.

No agency keeps salary schedules, job descriptions, MOUs, benefit summaries, and cost records in a single clean format. They're spread across PDFs, spreadsheets, Word docs, and scanned attachments — produced by different departments at different times. TCI's advanced AI reads them all, extracts the components the platform needs at high accuracy, and turns your raw source files into structured data — ready to use.

Why it matters: The 22% problem isn't abstract. When 78% of HR leaders doubt their benchmarks, a lot of that doubt traces back to data quality — which starts with how the data got into the system. TCI removes the re-keying, the format conversion, and the months of implementation pain by letting you load what you already have.

Unlimited Comparator Selection

Build the peer group that actually reflects your agency.

Averages from a vendor-chosen peer list are dangerous liars. TCI lets you build as many comparator cohorts as you need, selected by the criteria that matter most for public sector benchmarking: geographic radius, state, and population size.

Why it matters: Your comparator set is the most defensible element of any compensation decision. When a council member challenges a number, "we used the same 10 agencies every other city uses" isn't an answer. TCI lets you walk in with a cohort you can explain, justify, and adjust.

AI Job Matching & TrueComp Job Taxonomy

Apples-to-apples benchmarking, even when the titles are chaos.

A "Management Analyst" in one city does the work of an "Administrative Assistant II" in another — and a "Program Coordinator" somewhere else. Title drift across jurisdictions destroys benchmarking accuracy unless you solve the matching problem at its root. TCI solves it with a proprietary job taxonomy and AI-powered matching.

Why it matters: Bad job matching is the silent killer of every benchmarking report. When your "Planner II" is matched to the wrong peer role, every downstream number — pay range, equity finding, scenario cost — is quietly corrupted. The taxonomy fixes that at the foundation.

Compensation Benchmarking

Role-level market position, continuously refreshed.

TCI's benchmarking runs on real-time, government-only data — not the static, private-sector-inclusive surveys that produce averages you can't defend. Every role, every classification, every percentile is live. Powered by industry-leading AI-based job matching, your benchmarks reflect the real market — refreshed continuously.

Why it matters: Traditional benchmarking studies cost $50K+ and are stale the day they're delivered. TCI replaces the snapshot with a continuous feed — and replaces aggregate averages with role-level precision.

Market Summary

A single, unified view of where your agency stands.

The Market Summary is your competitive dashboard — a continuously updated, single-screen view of how your entire workforce compares to the market, with philosophy alignment at a glance. Swap your comparator cohort on the fly to see how your position changes against different peer groups, without leaving the screen.

Why it matters: You can't manage what you can't see. When a leader needs a status update — on a council agenda, a board review, a budget meeting — the Market Summary replaces two days of analyst prep with a screen you can walk into any meeting with.

AI Job Description Optimization

Modernize decades-old JDs in days, not quarters.

In most public agencies, job descriptions are years — sometimes decades — out of date. Every benchmark, every equity analysis, every scenario model built on a stale JD is structurally unsound. TCI's AI-powered optimization modernizes your JDs by comparing them against taxonomy peers in the database and ONET best practices.

Why it matters: Garbage JDs produce garbage compensation decisions. Outdated requirements cause candidates to self-select out. Wrong complexity levels produce wrong grade placements. TCI fixes the foundation every other capability depends on.

Pay Compression Risk Detection

Find the compression hiding in your pay structure.

Pay compression — where the differentials between classifications, grades, and steps narrow or invert — is a silent culture destroyer. TCI analyzes your positional pay structure (classifications, grades, steps, and the relationships between them) to surface compression risk continuously, not just during periodic audits.

Why it matters: Structural compression is usually discovered after the damage is done — when a senior leader quits because a new hire is paid too close to their number. TCI reverses the sequence: you see the structural risk in your pay plan first, and can fix it before it shows up as turnover.

Internal Equity Risk Identification

Surface internal equity issues before they become grievances.

Similar roles across departments — with similar requirements and duties — should be paid equitably. TCI automatically groups similar roles into peer groups and flags any jobs that fall outside the threshold you've set, so internal pay inequities surface as risks, not as grievances.

Why it matters: Internal equity issues don't announce themselves. They surface in grievances, morale problems, and quiet resignations — long after they became expensive to fix. TCI surfaces them while they're still correctable, before they become a crisis.

What-If Scenario Modeling

See the downstream consequences of every pay decision.

Public agencies make pay decisions all the time — market adjustments, reclassifications, promotion structures, equity remediations. The consequences of those decisions aren't always visible in the decision itself. TCI's What-If Scenario Modeling lets you model adjustments in advance, see the downstream equity and compression effects, and build a final scenario you can hand to stakeholders as a reviewable report.

Why it matters: The consequences of a pay decision aren't always visible in the decision itself. TCI lets you evaluate those consequences up front — so you can get in front of downstream equity and compression issues before they become retention problems or the next budget cycle's surprise.
