Plan a raise with proof: impact metrics, market data, and timing.
Quantify scope, metrics, and outcomes — revenue, savings, quality, velocity.
Compare role, level, and location benchmarks to define a fair target range.
Build a concise case with alternatives: base, bonus, equity, scope, title, timing.
Quantified outcomes tied to business goals, with stakeholder validation and clear before/after.
Use role/level/location ranges and internal bands when available; focus on total compensation.
Prefer performance cycles, after major impact, or when scope changes; avoid budget freezes.
