Manifesto

Every price is public. Except yours.

Stocks, houses, footballers: all priced in the open. The one asset most people own, their work, is priced in private. One negotiation at a time, by the side that knows more.

Without a price, pay follows perception. The confident get the raise. The connected get the offer. Same output, 30% apart. That isn't a market. It's a popularity contest with salaries attached.

What we're building. One open ranking: everyone from intern to CEO, on the same scale, 0 to 100. On top of it, a market: companies bid on people in the open, and every accepted bid becomes a public price.

What we believe.
  • Prices beat opinions.
  • One board, not silos.
  • Opacity only protects those who profit from it.

Where we are. Early. The ranking is live. The market comes next.
