The decisions are big.And they reach you as a recommendation, not a model.
It’s among your largest recurring costs and the one you can least interrogate. Benefit decisions arrive as a rate, a slide and a vendor’s ROI study. Axionia turns them into economics you can actually challenge — ranges, assumptions, and what each claim is worth after adjustment.

“We tell you what we think — but we expose the entire model.”
Nobody in this chain is doing anything wrong.
That’s what makes it durable. Every step is defensible on its own terms; the gap only appears when you look at all of them together, which is a view nobody in the process is positioned to have.
What lands on your desk is a recommendation with a number attached. What’s missing is what was assumed about engagement, which savings another vendor is already counting, and how much of the case rests on two or three figures nobody wants to name.
Every program was optimised in its own meeting against its own evidence. The total was never anyone’s decision — which is why it behaves like an accumulation rather than an allocation.
Advice changes; the baseline doesn’t reset with it. Without an independent measure taken beforehand, this year’s recommendations are being evaluated against nothing, and next year’s results are impossible to attribute.
Same analysis. Different reason to want it.
Expected, optimistic and conservative modelled together, with the vendor’s unadjusted figure shown alongside rather than argued with. A single number in this category is a claim about precision nobody can support.
Every program scored on one scale, so the question stops being “is this vendor credible” and becomes “where does the next dollar do the most work.” That’s a question finance is already equipped to answer.
Knowing what a program is worth tells you the real size of the budget. It doesn’t tell you whether the budget is pointed at the right things. We do both, in that order — a mix proposed without an audit behind it is just another opinion.
You get into the decision while it’s still a decision, with something to contribute beyond the size of the cheque — and with a model your benefits team can use rather than one that overrules them.
One scale, every program, every assumption on the table.
We’re not replacing your vendors, your broker or your benefits team. We’re giving everyone in the room the same independent picture — measured the same way.
