Market Benchmarks

Governed market truth

Market data without governance is just noise. AXIOMIA treats benchmarks as first-class data with provenance, confidence decay, and full auditability. Know when your data is stale before making decisions.

Benchmark Ingestion

Connect to compensation surveys and market data sources. Automatic mapping to your Capability Architecture.

Refresh Cadence

Configurable update frequency. Track when benchmarks were last refreshed and schedule automatic updates.

Confidence Decay

Benchmarks age. We model staleness and warn when data needs refresh. No more decisions on old data.

Evidence Manifests

Every benchmark decision links to source data, version, and timestamp. Board and audit ready.

Evidence Manifests for Auditors

Every pay decision that uses market data includes a manifest showing exactly which benchmarks were used, when they were captured, and how they mapped to your roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What benchmark sources does AXIOMIA support?

We integrate with major compensation surveys (Radford, Mercer, WTW, Payscale) and can ingest custom data. All sources are mapped to your Capability Architecture for consistent analysis.

How does benchmark mapping work?

AXIOMIA maps external job titles to your internal Capability Family/Strand/Role structure. Mapping confidence is scored, and low-confidence mappings are flagged for review.

What is a staleness warning?

When benchmark data ages past a configurable threshold (e.g., 6 months), the system flags it as stale. This prevents decisions based on outdated market data.

How are benchmarks used in Pay Equity?

Market rates provide the external reference point for fair pay analysis. Combined with internal data, you can identify both internal equity issues and market competitiveness gaps.

Can I use multiple benchmark sources?

Yes. You can blend multiple sources with configurable weights. The system tracks which source contributed to each data point for full auditability.

How do evidence manifests work for benchmarks?

Every compensation decision that uses benchmark data links to the specific survey, cut, version, and effective date. This creates an audit trail for regulators and boards.
