The Platform

Sixteen modules. One connected system.

Every module shares a single data layer. Evaluate a role once and the pay bands, job descriptions, employee reports, and equity analyses are all built from the same foundation.

Evaluate any role against all eight factors in a guided workflow. AI suggests an initial score with rationale per factor; you review, adjust, confirm. Under ten minutes, full audit trail.
Place any two roles side by side, factor by factor, to see exactly where and why their grades differ — the evidence base for every internal-equity conversation.
Every evaluation, override, and policy version is preserved and exportable — the system of record that stands behind each decision.
Generate the worker-information-form documentation the EU Pay Transparency Directive expects, drawn directly from the evaluation record.
Publish defensible pay ranges to every job advert, mapped to the grade structure so the number you post is the number you can stand behind.
Answer Article 7 information requests within the statutory window, with a plain-language rationale in the employee's own language.
Run the Pay Gap Calculator and Joint Pay Assessment workflow across the workforce to surface and document gaps before a regulator does.
…and further modules, all built on the same evaluation data.

A different architecture

A methodology built to be shown, not hidden.

Traditional frameworks

  • Scoring logic is contractually protected — cannot be shared with employees or regulators.
  • Evaluations require a licensed consultant; weeks to complete, significant cost per engagement.
  • The output an employee sees is a grade, with no rationale.
  • The opacity conflicts with what EU Directive Article 4 now requires.

Vareqa

  • Fully transparent methodology — factor definitions, point values, thresholds published and shareable.
  • Self-serve. First evaluation in under 10 minutes. No consultant, no engagement fee.
  • Every evaluation produces a plain-language rationale in the employee's language.
  • Compliant with Article 4 by design, with a market equivalency guide for migration.

Why it holds up

Four layers of defensibility.

Layer 01 · Regulatory coverage

The architecture maps to the law, not the other way around.

Article 4 satisfied by the REF™ methodology. Article 5 by the Pay Band Builder. Article 7 by the right-to-information report. Article 9 by the Pay Gap Calculator. Article 10 by the Joint Pay Assessment workflow. The same architecture extends to GCC nationalisation, US state laws, Japan's EEOA, and UK reporting.

Layer 02 · Data compounding

Every evaluation strengthens the next one.

Each role produces structured data from the same methodology — consistent in a way self-reported salary surveys can never be. Supports an anonymised benchmark layer (in development, subject to GDPR and competition-law review).

Layer 03 · External validation

The methodology stands up to independent review.

External legal opinion from an EU employment firm; third-party certification against a recognised pay-equity standard; a published, academically co-authored methodology paper. All in development.

Layer 04 · System of record

A pay architecture is not a one-off project.

Ranges publish on every advert, information requests arrive on 60-day deadlines, annual gap analyses recur, new roles need grading. Vareqa sits underneath as the system of record, with full version history.
