Compensation and governance datasets

These datasets support analyses of executive compensation, HR leadership, and director compensation.

Blue nodes are upstream inputs, green nodes are reusable analysis-layer datasets, purple nodes are read by analysis code, and dashed amber nodes are local products not yet wired to an analysis.

Datasets and roles

Dataset	Grain	Role
ExecuComp regression data	Executive–firm-year	Direct analysis input
CHRO data with model MQ	Public firm-year	Local joined product with no current analysis reader

The source-derived matched executive compensation, HR leadership, and director compensation products are documented under Processed datasets. This section contains only products that depend on HCT scores or define an analysis sample. The processed director compensation panel currently has no MQ-dependent derivative in this section.
