What the buyer gets

A deployed product and a decision, not a slide deck.

The pilot is designed to test whether employees understand one real pension change and whether the employer or consultancy can deliver it with less uncertainty.

01

Policy model

One approved current-versus-proposed policy covering contribution method, employer funding, matching, NI sharing and supported boundaries.

02

Two working views

A private employee impact journey plus an employer cost model using anonymous salary bands and headcounts.

03

Implementation support

Kickoff, integration guidance, acceptance checklist and launch support for your technical owner.

04

Evidence report

Validated aggregate funnel, optional understanding categories and quality evidence, with a recommendation to stop, refine or continue.

Genuine value

Three outcomes worth testing.

Choose one primary outcome before launch. Activity counts alone do not become an ROI claim.

Understanding

Can employees explain what the proposed arrangement changes in take-home and pension funding?

Measured with an agreed baseline and optional in-product understanding check.

Repeated questions

Does the workflow reduce recurring pension-change questions handled by reward, HR or advisers?

Measured against a representative support baseline.

Journey continuity

Do users engage with the explanation and take the intended next step without leaving your experience?

Measured with value-free browser events.
