About CalComp Data
Data infrastructure for California public compensation analysis. Built by engineers who understand government data.
Our Mission
Compensation consultants shouldn't spend 15+ hours per study downloading, cleaning, and normalizing public data. CalComp Data provides the data infrastructure so firms can focus on what they do best: analysis, methodology, and client advisory. We are not a consulting firm. We don't produce reports, render opinions, or sell directly to agencies. Your methodology, your deliverables, your client relationships.
Data infrastructure only
We provide data. You provide the expertise. No liability transfer.
Who we are
California public agency director who chairs his district's personnel committee. Built CalComp Data to solve a problem he kept seeing from the client side: consulting firms spending weeks on data gathering work that should be infrastructure.
