How Industry Benchmarks Are Built
Last reviewed: February 2026
Industry pages use salary baselines to make cross-sector comparisons possible. The goal is directional planning, not payroll-level precision.
Loaded Compensation
A 1.4x multiplier is applied to include benefits and indirect employer costs for more realistic planning estimates.
Meeting Scenario
Baseline cards model an 8-person, 60-minute meeting so every industry can be compared on equal terms.
Usage Guidance
How to Avoid Misreading Industry Data
Replace the default salary with your own weighted average when a meeting includes mixed roles or seniority levels.
Use industry baselines to prioritize where to investigate first, not as final budgeting inputs for compensation planning.
Recalculate for each recurring forum separately. Board reviews and weekly status meetings should not share one default model.
Pair cost benchmarks with value metrics such as decision speed and action completion before canceling recurring meetings.
