Velarion writes the defensible read on how a pay program stands against its peer group — the work your team would otherwise do by hand — and delivers it as a board-ready brief.
Annual subscriptions with a 3-day full-access free trial across all industries.
Why Velarion over Equilar
Equilar hands you the benchmarking spreadsheet. Velarion hands you the finished analysis — independent, transparent, refreshed nightly, and priced per answer.
The deliverable
Benchmarking data tables your team still has to read, weigh, and turn into a defensible story.
The finished story — a board-ready written assessment of how the pay program stands against its peer group.
The AI layer
Descriptive Q&A about the data, with source citations (their assistant shipped in 2024).
A normative, traceable judgment — which drivers moved the read, and why. Descriptive-with-citations is not the same as normative-and-traceable.
Freshness
Annual-cycle batch updates, tagged by hand.
Refreshed nightly. When the situation changes, your read reflects it the next day — every figure traceable to its source, on the record.
Independence
Platform relationships and score ecosystems built around the incumbents’ models.
No vote to recommend, no rating to sell you protection from — a clean, conflict-free assessment.
Pricing
Contact sales. Platform contracts. RFPs.
Published fixed annual pricing and a 3-day full-access free trial. No sales call required.
Where Velarion is honest about its edges: not a 25-year archive, not a relationship-mapping tool, not a vote-recommendation oracle. It is the independent, current, finished read on the pay situation in front of you — and it shows its work.
