Spot equity refresh gaps
See who's about to hit a vesting cliff and what a refresh would cost.
The prompt
Which employees have less than 25 percent of their unvested equity value left over the next 12 months? Compare their ongoing equity to market refresh benchmarks and estimate the cost of bringing them to the 50th percentile.
Then try
- Break that down by department.
- What if we only refresh people rated "meets" or higher?
What you get back
Sample output with illustrative data
38 employees hit a vesting cliff in the next year. Their ongoing equity sits at the 22nd percentile of market refresh grants. Bringing them to the 50th costs about 0.4 percent of fully diluted shares.
The problem
Initial grants are running out for your longest-tenured people. Their pay drops when vesting ends, and that's when they start taking recruiter calls.
The old way
- Pull vesting schedules from the cap table tool
- Compare to refresh benchmarks by hand
- Estimate share cost in a separate model
Why it works in Pave
Reads vesting, not just grants
It looks at what's left to vest, which is what actually drives retention.
Refresh benchmarks
Compares ongoing grants to ongoing grants, not to new-hire packages.
Ties to Total Rewards
The same numbers show up in the employee's total rewards view.
