Migrate off spreadsheets in 30 days

A pragmatic, low-risk migration plan that gets you to a governed system in a single comp cycle.

01

Week 1 — Model

Map your org hierarchy and a single representative plan. Don't try to migrate everything at once; one well-chosen pilot proves the pattern.

02

Week 2 — Load & validate

Bring in the underlying data and validate calculations against your existing spreadsheet results. Discrepancies here are gold — they reveal hidden assumptions in the old model.

03

Week 3 — Parallel run

Run the new system alongside the old for a full cycle. Parallel runs build trust and surface edge cases without any payout risk.

04

Week 4 — Cut over

Once the numbers match, cut over and onboard reps to self-serve statements. Thirty days in, a fragile file is replaced by a governed system the team trusts.
