Inside the report
What's inside
Every WageDefender report ships with all six sections — no sections gated behind a higher tier. The Pro-Reviewed tier adds a credentialed CPA or attorney sign-off on top.
01
Cover & Score Card
Audit-readiness composite score (0–100), sub-metric breakdown, RC range figure, ECI-aged BLS vintage stamp, and the methodology authority reference — all on a single court-presentable cover page.
02
Defense Summary
One-page composite scorecard across all four stress-test frameworks. Composite band (Excellent / Good / Fair / Risk), per-framework subtotals, and a narrative provenance paragraph the CPA can attest to.
03
Methodology Disclosure
Approach selection rationale (Cost / Market / Income), inputs used, known limitations, IRS Job Aid for Valuation Professionals authority reference, and the BLS OEWS SOC-role mapping table for the officer.
04
Calculation Breakdown
Per-role SOC table with hours, BLS percentile wage rate, ECI aging multiplier, proficiency weighting, and subtotals for each approach. Every number traces to a cited primary source.
05
Stress-Test Defense
Factor-by-factor scoring against IRS Nine (FS-2008-25), LabelGraphics 5, Brewer–Owensby 9, and Watson Independent Investor — 33 factors total. Each entry shows PASS / WARN / FAIL / DATA-NEEDED plus the stated rule and the primary-authority citation.
06
Corporate Minutes (UWC)
Auto-populated Unanimous Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting, pre-filled with the officer name, entity name, tax year, and the determined RC figure. Print, sign, and file in the corporate binder.
Methodology
Built like the report a tax court would cite.
Four load-bearing pillars. Every report carries all four. No LLM-generated prose in the numbers — deterministic rule scoring throughout.
Time Correction
ECI quarterly aging
Stale wage data is the most common methodology flaw examiners attack. Every figure is aged forward using the BLS Employment Cost Index — the same series BLS recommends in its Monthly Labor Review.

Three-method reconciliation
Cost, Market, and Income approaches run on the same inputs. A ±15% corroboration band is the explicit reviewer signal. Variance is surfaced — not silently resolved.
