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 special district director who has commissioned total compensation studies, Prop 218 rate studies, and capital improvement plans. Built CalComp Data after a $15,000 comp study produced a report that was nearly unusable — and after years of working directly with SCO data and CalPERS rate structures as part of running his district.
