The junior analyst stack
Flexible and judgment-driven, but bottlenecked on the speed, scale, and consistency a modern engagement needs.
Spencer absorbs the duct-tape work so your analysts spend their hours on judgment.
| Issuer | Ticker | Total | YoY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Inc. | AAPL | $63.2M | +12% |
| Microsoft Corp. | MSFT | $55.0M | +8% |
| Alphabet Inc. | GOOG | $8.8M | −3% |
Spencer takes whatever exec-comp work you’d hand a junior — in plain English, against any peer set, in the shape your firm already works in.
“Build a peer group around AAPL and pull last-three-year CEO total compensation.”
“Summarize say-on-pay vote outcomes across our tech client list, with the dissenting issuers flagged.”
“Extract the Summary Compensation Table from MSFT’s latest DEF 14A and reconcile it against last year’s.”
“Compare director ownership requirements and equity vesting across our financial-services peer set.”
“Draft a CD&A summary in our house style — three paragraphs, board-ready, with the pay-mix chart inline.”
Comp consultants today have three options. Spencer plays a different role than each.

Equilar’s ERIC is the AI analyst built for the corporate side — for filers, CHROs, and comp committees preparing their own disclosures.
Spencer is the AI analyst built for the consulting firm — your templates, your peer groups, your house style.
Great for exploration. Not built for deliverables. Confident wrong answers are how a client gets lost forever.

Every number, table, and claim is one click from its source disclosure.
“Not disclosed” beats a confident wrong number, every time.
Templates, peer groups, conventions — fit to your firm, not the industry.
Spencer makes every comp consulting firm operate like one with 10× the analysts.
