Who this is for

Anyone with an offer in hand, or overdue for a raise.

The problem it solves

You accept the first number because you don't know what else to say.

Why this is recommended

It's the shortest honest path from where you are to a decision you can act on — 2 guided steps, one report at the end.

What you’ll receive
  • A defensible target number
  • Your real leverage, named honestly
  • Word-for-word scripts
  • What to do if they say no

Every report follows the same structure: executive summary, situation overview, key findings, prioritized recommendations, an action plan, and the next best improvement. Yours to export and keep.

What actually matters here

These are the things worth being honest about before you decide. The recommendation you receive weighs each of them against your situation.

  • Whether you have a comparison point or only a feeling that you're underpaid.
  • What the person you're asking can actually approve, and when their budget is set.
  • What you'd accept instead of money — scope, title, flexibility, review date.
  • What happens if the answer is no, and whether you're prepared for that answer.
