The Richness Blind Spot

Most CFOs know their total benefit spend but can't quantify actual plan generosity. A $15K PEPY plan can be stingy (high spend, low richness) or generous (rich benefits, efficient delivery). Our scoring engine separates cost from value—revealing whether you're overpaying for mediocre coverage or delivering premium benefits efficiently.

What Richness Scoring Reveals

  • • Your competitive position vs. peer deciles
  • • Which benefit categories drive perceived value
  • • Cost-inefficient richness (waste zones)
  • • Strategic under-investment (talent gaps)
  • • Plan design ROI by workforce segment
  • • Recruitment/retention impact by richness tier
  • • Broker/consultant performance validation
  • • Union negotiation leverage points
