1) Reputation / professional networkingBy being in the flow of peer-acknowledged performance & compensation information, Coordinape gets closer to the ground truth on people’s actual skills, contributions, and expertise.

But this new model of compensation isn’t without questions & challenges.  One criticism is that this model of peer-driven compensation incentivizes more visible, externally-facing work—which may not be correlated with impact—versus more unseen independent contributions.

Coordinape offers a novel model for determining compensation in a way that can be more fair and reflective of actual contributions: since peers vote, there’s not as much emphasis on appeasing a single person, and power is more distributed throughout the organization.
