The Replacement Cost Briefing

Replacing one of your senior Black women costs $442,250 to $819,000. Losing her documentation costs more.

The Value Audit™ Cohort documents the economic output of your highest-impact Black women before a competitor, a resignation letter, or a pay equity claim does it for you.

The math your retention strategy is not carrying.

51%

54 per 100

Black women promoted to manager for every 100 men. That is not a pipeline problem. It is a succession risk.

77%

Black women who report having to prove themselves over and over. The proof exists. Nobody has documented it.

89¢

The median Black woman in the Black Women’s Wealth Lab® Audit file leaves 89 cents of every documented dollar unbilled. Her employer is not the exception.

Your organization holds undocumented value. Undocumented value walks out the door quietly and shows up later as a recruiting invoice or a legal exposure.

What a Value Audit™ Cohort produces.

For each woman in the cohort

A confidential, evidence-graded valuation of her documented career output. Her Invoice Number™. She leaves with forensic documentation of what her work is worth, produced by the firm that built the instrument.

For your leadership

An anonymized Executive Readout of aggregate findings. The average extraction gap in your cohort. The attribution deficits. The proprietary knowledge sitting undocumented inside your walls. The retention exposure, quantified.

Individual results stay confidential to each participant. Leadership sees the pattern, never the person. That structure is what makes participation honest and the findings real.

The instrument has receipts.

$17.5M to $52.5M

The founder ran the Value Audit™ on herself first. It documented her career financial impact across 20 Fortune 500 clients, Toyota, Bridgestone, Google, and four years as a Salesforce Top Sales Influencer. Her compensation at the time captured 0.34% of it.

$4.72M to $8.39M

Documented for Elizabeth, a medtech operations leader, across five named wins including $11M in cardiac monitoring revenue and $34.9M in pipeline visibility.

$230 per hour

The rate increase Dionne Bishop of Events by Dionne Inc. executed after her audit documented pricing 60% to 76% below the market floor. Contract out for signature.

Your senior women have files like these. Nobody has opened them.

The question every CHRO asks first.

“Won’t this documentation help them negotiate or leave?”

They already know they are underpaid. The documentation is coming with or without you. The only variable is whether your organization is in the room when the number is established.

Organizations that audit first retain first. Organizations that wait meet the number in an exit interview or a filing. The cohort makes you the employer that documented her value before anyone else thought to.
