The Mechanism

How the Scaled Comp Analyzer Works

A deterministic compliance engine that reconstructs the full picture of how time was actually worked, then tests it against California labor law — every shift, every location, with a full audit trail back to the original punches.

What the Analyzer Does

Six things, in order — deterministically and reproducibly, so the same records always produce the same answer.

01

Rebuilds Shift Sequences

Reconstructs chronological shifts from disordered punch data — out-of-order rows, split records, and multi-row punch days resolved into the shifts people actually worked.

02

Detects Data Issues

Flags punch anomalies — mis-ordered, missing, and duplicate records — before any compliance rule runs, so conclusions rest on clean inputs.

03

Applies California Break Rules

Tests every reconstructed shift against meal and rest break requirements, waiver logic, overtime triggers, and wage statement checks.

04

Quantifies by Location & Manager

Rolls violations up by location, manager, and time period — the cut that turns raw findings into targeted remediation and defensible reporting.

05

Generates Litigation-Ready Datasets

Produces normalized, structured data built for discovery, mediation, and expert analysis — not just internal dashboards.

06

Maintains Source Provenance

Every reconstructed shift links back to the original punches, and every reconstruction decision is logged. Nothing is a black box.

Complete Datasets. Never Samples.

Traditional expert data review runs on 5–10% samples, takes months, and can run north of six figures. The Analyzer takes a different path.
