  • In-House Airport Expertise: Developed in collaboration with ERAU's aviation management professionals who bring decades of industry experience.
  • Novel Complexity Matrix: A proprietary framework for quantifying position complexity factors specific to airport operations.
  • Proprietary Predictive Model: Advanced statistical modeling that accounts for title semantics, role classification, and compensation patterns.
  • Cost-of-Living Correction: Regional adjustments to ensure predictions reflect local economic conditions.

All predictions are generated using aggregated, anonymized data. Individual compensation records are never exposed or identifiable through the system.
