EQUITYGUARDINTERSECT™
Adverse impact analytics & pay data compliance

Find adverse impact in your workforce data before someone else does.

Intersect™ runs the same statistical tests courts and agencies rely on — two-proportion Z-tests measured against the EEOC's four-fifths rule — across hiring, promotion, compensation, and separation. You get continuous monitoring, a defensible record of what you reviewed, and filing-ready output.

A smarter approach to compliance

From annual spreadsheets to continuous oversight.

Most employers discover a disparity when a charge, an audit, or a demand letter arrives. Intersect™ surfaces it while you still have time to investigate, correct, and document the response.

Adverse Impact Detection

Impact ratios calculated against the four-fifths rule in the EEOC's Uniform Guidelines (29 CFR 1607), across hiring, promotion, pay, and separation.

Intersectional Analysis

Test combined categories — race and gender together — not just one at a time, with Benjamini-Hochberg correction so repeated testing doesn't manufacture false signals.

Filing & Deadline Tracking

Stay ahead of EEO-1 Component 1, California pay data reporting under SB 464, and the Illinois and Colorado equal pay requirements, on one calendar.

Defensible Documentation

A timestamped record of what was flagged, who reviewed it, what was decided, and what changed — exportable when you need to show your work.

How it works

Three steps from raw HRIS export to defensible record.

1
Connect workforce data

Import from your HRIS or upload a structured file. Employee-level data stays isolated to your organization.

2
Run the tests

Impact ratios and two-proportion Z-tests across every selection decision, with intersectional breakdowns.

3
Document the response

Record what leadership reviewed and decided, then export for filings, counsel, or the board.

Methodology

How the numbers are actually calculated.

Analytics that inform a legal position should be reproducible and explainable. Here is exactly what runs under the hood.

  1. Impact ratio against the four-fifths ruleThe selection rate for each group is compared with the highest-selected group. A ratio below 0.80 is the threshold the EEOC's Uniform Guidelines treat as evidence of adverse impact.
  2. Two-proportion Z-test for statistical significanceThe four-fifths rule alone is sensitive to small samples. Each comparison is also tested for significance, following the standard-deviation approach used in Hazelwood School District v. United States and Castaneda v. Partida.
  3. Benjamini-Hochberg correctionTesting many groups at once inflates false positives. This correction controls the false discovery rate so flagged findings hold up to scrutiny.
  4. External benchmarkingInternal results are compared against EEOC EEO-1 public use file data and Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational data, so you can see availability context, not just internal numbers.
Built for real-world impact

Know what your data shows before you have to explain it.

Fragmented spreadsheets and point-in-time reviews leave gaps that are difficult to defend later. A continuous record closes them.

Workforce outcomes

Patterns across hiring, advancement, compensation, and retention, with the underlying numbers available.

Emerging risk

Groups approaching or falling below the four-fifths threshold, and how far the gap has moved since last quarter.
