How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ OFFER ANALYSIS │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SINGLE OFFER → Evaluate │
│ - Break down total comp (Y1, Y2, 4-year) │
│ - Compare to market data │
│ - Recommend: accept / negotiate / walk │
│ │
│ MULTIPLE OFFERS → Compare │
│ - Side-by-side table + weighted scoring │
│ - Best/risk/ceiling analysis per offer │
│ - "What you'll regret" for each option │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Inputs
- Offer details (from user — base, equity, sign-on, benefits, etc.)
- Company and role (one or more)
- knowledge/profile.md — seniority context
- knowledge/negotiation/strategy.md — comp preferences and priorities
- If available: output/[company]/offer-analysis.md for prior evaluations
Part 1: Single Offer Evaluation
1. Offer Breakdown
| Component | Amount | Notes |
|---|
| Base salary | | |
| Equity/RSUs | | Vesting schedule |
| Sign-on bonus | | |
| Annual bonus | | Target % |
| Benefits | | Health, 401k match, etc. |
| PTO | | |
| Remote/hybrid | | |
Total comp: Year 1 | Year 2 | 4-year total
2. Market Comparison
How this compares to market for role/level/location. Cite sources (levels.fyi, Glassdoor, Blind). Verdict: Below / At / Above Market.
3. Candidate Alignment
How this maps to priorities from knowledge/negotiation/strategy.md. Does it meet the walk-away threshold?
4. What's Negotiable
What to push on, what to accept, in what order.
5. Recommendation
Accept as-is / Negotiate specific items / Strong negotiate / Walk away — with reasoning.
Part 2: Multi-Offer Comparison (if 2+ offers)
6. Side-by-Side Comparison
| Factor | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|
| Total comp (Y1) | | |
| Growth trajectory | | |
| Role scope | | |
| ... | | |
7. Weighted Score (using candidate priorities)
8. Qualitative Analysis
For each: best case, risk case, growth ceiling.
9. Decision Framework
Recommendation by priority lens (comp vs growth vs balance).
10. What You'll Regret
For each option — the thing you might regret in a year.

If Something Goes Wrong
- Incomplete offer details: Ask for what's missing — "What's the equity/bonus structure?"
- Can't find market data: Note the limitation. Provide ranges based on available data.
- User has unrealistic expectations: Flag it honestly — "Market for this role/level is $X-Y."
- Exploding offer (short deadline): Flag the deadline prominently. Draft a time-extension request: grateful tone, specific reason ("finalizing another process"), propose a concrete new date. Note: most deadlines are negotiable by 3-7 days.
After Output
- "Track this offer?
/pipeline-status update [company] offer"
- "Want to negotiate?
/negotiate for counter-offer strategy and scripts"
- "Need more company context?
/company-research [company]"
- "Ready to decide? Tell me which one and I'll help you respond"
- "Ready to accept? Tell me and I'll draft your acceptance message"
Rules
- Don't just compare numbers — compare trajectories
- Never fabricate market data — cite sources
- Respect the candidate's stated priorities, don't impose your own
- Be honest if an offer is genuinely strong — or genuinely weak
- Flag if expectations are unrealistic for the market
