Written by Osiris Childs

1. General Analytics

Analytics in Comprehensive lives in two places: People Tools for company-wide employee data, and Cycle Analytics inside a specific comp cycle or review.

Where to find it:

  • People Tools → Employees → Analytics tab

  • Cycle Analytics → Inside a comp cycle → Analytics tab

Pay Equity

The default view in both contexts. It gives you a grouped table of compensation data with summary cards at the top.

Summary Cards
Employee count, total salary, avg salary, and avg compa ratio all display at the top of the view.

Grouping & Aggregation

  • Primary group: Department, role, level, location, and more

  • Secondary group: Optional nested breakdowns within the primary group

  • Aggregation options: Avg salary, total salary, headcount, salary increase %, compa ratio, and more

Cycle Summary (Cycle Analytics only)

An additional Summary tab available only inside a review or comp cycle.

What's Included

  • Overview: High-level view of proposals and budgets for the cycle

  • Breakdown: Stats by approval level, proposal type, and review parameters

  • Tracks: Salary, bonus, equity, and promotion data across the cycle

2. AI Analytics (Beta)

A chat-based interface for asking natural language questions about your comp data. Visible to company admins in both People Tools and Cycle Analytics.

Where to find it:

  • People Tools → Analytics → AI Analytics tab

  • Cycle Analytics → Analytics → AI Analytics tab

How It Works

Chat Interface
Type natural language questions and the AI responds with written analysis and auto-generated charts.
​Threads: Conversations are saved with full history so you can pick up where you left off.

Default Suggested Questions

In-Cycle

  • "Are we allocating more to high performers?"

  • "What is the average raise by performance rating?"

Company-Wide / Out-of-Cycle

  • "Do we have any pay equity gaps?"

  • "How does pay compare to performance?"

Export & Sharing

Individual charts and full analysis messages can be exported to PDF-ready layouts with Comprehensive branding.
