Employer diligence · before you sign
The company read your resume. Now read theirs.
One brief tells you whether to take the offer, push it, or walk — what the company is really worth, what your role is really worth, and the exact words to ask for more.
No one is contacted. No one knows you looked. Every claim opens to a source.
The receipts, not the reviews
Glassdoor tells you how people felt. Footnote tells you what's on the record.
Whether the company can actually afford you — the growth, the runway, and whether insiders are quietly heading for the exit.
From the company's own filings
The pay band employers report to the federal government for your exact role and metro — not what strangers typed into a survey.
From certified federal wage filings
The layoffs, lawsuits, and leadership exits that never make it into the job description.
From the public record
How it works
Three steps to a brief you can act on.
Name the company and your offer
Company, role, level, and the numbers on the table. Sixty seconds, no account needed to start.
We run the diligence
The same file an acquirer would build before buying the company — sized to your role, your level, and your number.
You get a scored, cited brief
A verdict, a comp read, the risks, and a negotiation playbook — every claim footnoted to a source you can open.
What's in a brief
Every brief, one shape. One verdict.
Every brief follows the same structure and the same standard of evidence — assembled for your company, role, and package after checkout.
Read a full sample →The verdict
A 0–100 score and a plain-spoken call — take it, push, or walk.
Compensation
Where your number lands in the real market band, with the gap quantified. At the Executive tier: how they treat equity — actually, not officially.
Company health
Revenue, runway, and burn from filings — is the seat itself safe?
Role-level risk
Layoff exposure, reorg signals, and how your function has fared. Offer tier and above.
The negotiation playbook
The exact asks, the counters, and the words — backed by what you now know.
Included with every brief
Meet Genevieve — the concierge who's read your brief.
Ask her to explain the verdict, draft the counter-offer in your voice, benchmark your number against today's market — or to check back in before the conversation happens. She answers from your brief and live data, not from guesses.
Private by design
Your brief and your conversations with her are never used to train AI models, never shared, and never public.
Members keep her year-round — she watches your comp against the live band and checks in before the moments that matter.
The math on $199
Priced against the swing, not the page count.
The band for one role in one metro held $54K between its 25th and 75th percentile. That's the room. The brief shows you exactly where it is — and hands you the words to ask for it. Refundable for seven days if it doesn't earn its keep.
