Benefits & Total Rewards
Optimize the second-largest line item on your P&L
Model plan design trade-offs, optimize HSA/FSA strategies, provide personalized enrollment decision support, and monitor benefits compliance — turning total rewards from cost center to retention lever.
Challenges We Solve
Common pain points that structured decision models eliminate.
Benefits Overspend
Plan costs rise 6-8% annually with little visibility into drivers. Model plan design trade-offs, identify cost optimization levers, and forecast utilization by segment.
Enrollment Confusion
Employees pick the wrong plans and leave value on the table. Decision support models recommend optimal plan-benefit combinations based on individual needs.
Compliance Gaps
ACA affordability, COBRA administration, ERISA fiduciary duties — regulatory requirements multiply. Automated compliance scanning with remediation workflows.
Retention Disconnect
Competitive total rewards data is stale by the time you act. Benchmark packages against real-time market data and model the retention impact of benefit changes.
Use Cases
How teams use DecisionLedger to make better decisions.
Models plan design trade-offs across medical, dental, and HSA options before renewal season — comparing cost impact, employee satisfaction, and utilization projections side by side.

Benefits is your second-largest expense after payroll. When's the last time someone modeled whether you're getting ROI on any of it?
Broker-driven renewals
Accepting rate increases because your broker says 'that's the market' — without counter-models
Benefits admin platforms
Enrollment systems that process elections but can't analyze whether plans are optimal
Spreadsheet plan comparisons
Side-by-side cost tables that miss utilization patterns and retention impact
Annual benchmarking surveys
Stale compensation data from 12 months ago that doesn't reflect current market
