Compensation

Structured guidance for offers, pay, and negotiation (not legal or tax advice): confirm triggers, propose the stages below, and adapt if the user wants a lighter pass.

When to Offer This Workflow

Trigger conditions:

• User mentions negotiation, offers, raises, compensation, or closely related work
• They want a structured workflow rather than ad-hoc tips
• They are preparing a review, rollout, or stakeholder communication

Initial offer: Explain the four stages briefly and ask whether to follow this workflow or work freeform. If they decline, continue in their preferred style.

Workflow Stages

Stage 1: Clarify context & goals

Anchor on market context and priorities. Ask what success looks like, constraints, and what must not break. Capture unknowns early.
