Scenario Comparisons
Side-by-side comparison of scenarios
Scenario Comparisons
Compare 2 scenarios side-by-side to evaluate cost, headcount, structure, and org health metrics before making a decision.
Accessing Comparisons
From the homepage, select exactly 2 scenarios using the checkboxes
Click Compare in the bottom-right corner
Note: Comparisons only work between 2 scenarios and must be started from the homepage.
What You Can Compare
Cost - Total compensation per scenario vs. baseline (Main Org). Identifies which option fits budget constraints.
Headcount - Total employees per scenario with additions and reductions breakdown. Shows which scenario grows, maintains, or reduces the team.
Span of Control - SoC distributions per scenario with by the attribute selected
Pyramid Chart - Headcount by management layer as a stacked pyramid. Wide/flat = fewer layers and larger teams; tall/narrow = more layers. Identifies top-heavy or overly flat structures.
Key Metrics - Summary table: average span of control, number of management layers, department sizes, and any other configured metrics.
Common Workflows
Evaluating budget cuts - Create Option A (cut Dept X), Option B (across-the-board cuts), Option C (flatten management). Compare cost (verify ~10% savings), then org chart (evaluate structural disruption), then headcount (see which roles are eliminated). Choose the best balance.
Choosing a reorganization structure - Compare "Combine teams under one VP" vs. "Keep teams separate with directors." Check Pyramid Chart for layers, Key Metrics for SOC, Org Chart for visual clarity.
Presenting alternatives to leadership - Create two scenarios (e.g., Conservative vs. Aggressive hiring). Export the comparison to present cost and headcount differences side-by-side.
Troubleshooting
Can't select more than 2 scenarios
Comparisons only support 2 scenarios at a time
Org charts look identical
Zoom in or scroll — top-level may look the same while department-level differs
Cost shows no difference
Scenarios must have different changes — identical scenarios will show no difference
Can't export comparison
Check export permissions with your admin
Want to compare a scenario to Main Org
Select Main Org as one of the two options — it appears in the scenario list
