The pay range assigned to a job based on job value and market data, whose midpoint represents the competitive market rate for fully competent performance.

How it’s computed

Formula
Measurement model: operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency

What it operationalizes

This is a pure operational metric — it has no single latent construct behind it; it stands as its own node, connected to programs and outcomes rather than to a psychometric scale.
