Our ground rules

Numbers you can check, not numbers you have to trust

Unknown is not zero

If you leave a bonus or benefit blank, we label it unknown and leave it out of totals — we never quietly count it as $0.

Guaranteed vs. hoped-for

Base pay, target bonuses, equity and estimates carry different labels, so a promise never looks like a certainty.

Formula and source shown

Every result explains how it was calculated, and every statistic names its source and reference period.
