Hierarchy Abstractor
Turn a flat employee list into a reportable org — report by leader, level, or span in minutes.
Reach for this first when your employee list is flat but you need to report by leader, level, or span. Not a metric; it's the structure your metrics get sliced by.
Who it’s for & the problem it solves
A people-analytics practitioner who has an employee export but no usable org structure.
- The situation — The data is flat — manager IDs, but no levels, chains, or spans to report by.
- Why it stings — Hand-building the hierarchy with VLOOKUPs feels brittle and beneath the work.
- Why it’s wrong — You shouldn't need an enterprise platform or an IT ticket to report by your own org chart.
The plan
- Drop the pack into your sheet
- Confirm the id/manager columns
- Pivot by leader_L2 (or any level)
What success looks like
- Report headcount/attrition by real hierarchy, today, in your own tool
- Without it: Keep hand-maintaining a fragile manager lookup — or stay blocked waiting on the warehouse
Why us
We know you're under-resourced and the source system won't give you this. Built on the org-graph engine — the same hierarchy logic that powers the enterprise platform.
Get the Hierarchy Abstractor. Run it on the sample data first.
One read is often wrong on its own. Each pack closes with what it would cost — and be worth — to tighten the answer, so you decide when it’s time to switch on the enterprise package.
