The Expense Equity Mini-Diagnostic is a technical assessment tool from QuakeLab’s Equity in Beta series, created for employers, HR professionals, and finance leaders who want to understand how their policies perform under real conditions.
Financial and administrative policies, from expense reimbursements and relocation allowances to training stipends and travel procedures, are often built on outdated assumptions about financial stability and access to credit. These hidden assumptions quietly shape participation, performance, and retention.
This diagnostic provides a clear, structured method to test those systems. In less than ten minutes, it helps teams evaluate how risk, cost, and time are distributed across roles, and where small design changes can create measurable improvement in both equity and operational efficiency.
With this tool, you will:
Surface hidden design assumptions that create financial inequity or administrative burden.
Produce a clear “stability profile” that highlights risk areas and improvement priorities.
Access a checklist of immediate, evidence-based adjustments your team can pilot right away.
The Expense Equity Mini-Diagnostic is part of QuakeLab’s commitment to treating equity as a technical skill — rigorous, data-driven, and actionable. It is an essential resource for organizations that view fairness not as a statement of intent but as a measurable performance standard.
