Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Workforce metrics visualization
Transform HR data exports into clear charts and dashboards for leadership. Visualize headcount trends, attrition patterns, time-to-fill, and diversity metrics in formats that drive decisions instead of spreadsheet fatigue.
Chart created with 4 department trend lines. Sales consistently above company target (12% dotted line) — peaked at 23% in Q3. Engineering stable and well below target. Customer Success trending down from 18% to 11% — improvement visible in H2.
Compensation benchmarking research
Research market compensation data for any role, level, and geography. Build competitive pay analyses using industry reports, job posting data, and government surveys to keep your compensation bands market-aligned.
Market data compiled. Staff PM in Seattle: base $175K-$215K at enterprise, $145K-$185K at Series B-C startup. Equity: 0.1%-0.3% at startup stage, RSUs $80K-$150K/year at FAANG-adjacent. Total comp range: $250K-$380K. Amazon and Microsoft compress base but elevate stock.
Attrition root cause research
Build a rigorous evidence base for understanding why employees leave. Research industry studies on voluntary turnover drivers, compare against your organization's exit interview themes, and identify targeted retention interventions.
Found 22 sources. Top predictors: manager quality (strongest predictor across 9 meta-analyses, r=0.35 with turnover intent), internal mobility opportunities (Gallup 2024: 2.8x retention impact), compensation equity perception, and work-life conflict. Compensation rank drops from #1 to #3 when internal mobility is available.
HR reporting and documentation
Produce polished HR reports, policy summaries, and workforce analysis narratives. Transform raw analysis outputs into executive-ready documents that tell a clear story about workforce health and HR program effectiveness.
Q2 Workforce Summary drafted. Opens with 3 positive headline metrics with vs-prior-quarter context. Attrition improvement section explains likely drivers (new manager training program launched in Q4). Time-to-fill reduction linked to TA process improvement. Closes with Q3 risks: 14 open senior roles in Engineering.
Job architecture and leveling research
Research how peer companies structure job families, career levels, and title frameworks. Inform internal job architecture projects with market norms so your leveling decisions stay competitive and internally equitable.
Engineering ladder research complete. Google: 11 levels (L3-L11), Meta: 8 levels (E3-E9). Staff Engineer typically at L6/E6 — expected to operate independently on complex systems. Principal/Distinguished at L7-L8+. Most mid-size companies collapse to 5-6 levels. Typical inflection: Senior to Staff requires demonstrating org-wide technical impact.
Workforce planning and headcount modeling
Build structured workforce planning models and scenario analyses. Research industry workforce planning methodologies, create Excel-based headcount models, and produce planning assumptions documents.
Excel workbook created with 5 sheets: Assumptions (attrition rates, hiring lead times), Current Headcount (by dept and level), Hiring Plan, 3-Scenario Model (base/optimistic/conservative), and Executive Summary with totals and charts. Formulas linked across sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI tools replace HRIS systems for people analytics?
No — these tools complement your HRIS, not replace it. Your HRIS holds the transactional data. AI tools help you research benchmarks, visualize analyzed data, automate report narratives, and find external context for internal metrics.
How accurate is the compensation benchmark data?
Deep Research pulls from public sources including company job postings, government salary surveys, and published industry reports. For detailed benchmarking projects, treat AI-sourced data as directional and supplement with dedicated compensation survey subscriptions (Radford, Mercer, etc.) for precision.
Can these tools help with workforce planning?
Yes. Excel Tools creates headcount planning models with scenario analysis. Deep Research provides market context and workforce trend data. Content Repurposer drafts planning assumptions documents and summary narratives for leadership.
What chart types work best for HR metrics?
Generate Chart supports bar charts (headcount by department), line charts (attrition trends over time), radar/spider charts (engagement dimension scores), stacked bars (workforce composition), and scatter plots (tenure vs. performance). Specify your data and chart type in the prompt.
Can I use these tools to prepare for board-level HR reporting?
Yes. Generate Chart creates executive-quality visualizations. Content Repurposer drafts the narrative summary, key insight callouts, and forward-looking commentary. Together they help you produce board-ready HR reports faster than manual slide-building.
