The full level-by-level ladder — every rung side by side, current level (M2) highlighted.
Pay by level
Same pricing source as the profile's ticker header — family multiplier + inherited focus differential over the function×level base.
Pay rises with level — the structure that explains the most pay variance.
Mastery at this level
M2 — Foundational · does the basics reliably, by the book
Sound analysis, defensible recommendations
- Builds reward models tested against evidence, not last year's numbers
- Names anchoring and confirmation bias in own draft analyses and corrects them
- Distinguishes a routine market update from a question needing deeper method
- Explains pay ranges and rationale clearly to a manager and checks they understood
What’s next — Proficientat M3 → M4
Moving from analyzing well to designing and owning reward decisions under real uncertainty — building process, structure, and agreements that hold.
What to learn
- How pay design shapes direction, intensity and persistence of effort, and where it crowds out intrinsic motivation
- Retention economics at segment level and regretted-attrition drivers
- Debiasing architecture: decomposition, relative scales, mediating assessments, checklists
What to practice
- Designing pay structures and performance-contingent mechanisms
- Running controlled pilots and phasing reversible commitments
- Brokering wise, implementable agreements using objective criteria
- Inviting task-focused dissent without personal friction
