On the Rise —

Not enough recent data yet — needs at least 3 salaries added in the last few months and 3 from before.
Every part compares each salary with the median for the same role and experience band at other companies — the "market index" HR teams use — so a company isn't rewarded just for having senior people on the books. Parts backed by few records are pulled toward the market average, then ranked against every company with enough data: 10 means near the top. The Pay Score is the weighted average of the parts that have enough data (here 90% of the weight), and needs Get Rich plus at least two others.
