Stop going it alone.

Right now, Range is a vetted, closed community. Members debate real use cases, act as sounding boards on each other's work, and show how they actually use the tools. The learning comes from doing alongside peers, not from a fixed curriculum. The community is the peers inside it, and that is what Range is. As the community grows, we may introduce more structured learning and certification.

Most members are Director, VP, or Head of Compensation and Rewards level. Senior Managers with a deep specialism and genuine AI intent are welcome. Seniority matters less than what you have actually built. If you are earlier in your career but are already building real AI tooling for compensation work — workflows, scripts, automations that others would want to use — you may be considered. If you are in a generalist HR role or in recruiting without a total rewards focus, Range is not the right fit.

No. Community work is built around approaches, code, frameworks, and learnings — not raw salary files. Many members use local code execution specifically so sensitive data never leaves their organisation. You can contribute and benefit fully without ever exposing confidential information.

Many members work inside governance-locked or Copilot-only stacks. Range work is built around approaches, code, and templates members run locally — you don't need cloud LLM access to participate, and you can contribute fully without exposing confidential data.

Members decide their own depth. For most, that's five to ten minutes a day inside the community, plus thirty minutes for a builder or community call when the topic lands for you. Builder challenges scale from simple automations to advanced workflows so newer builders aren't out of their depth and experienced ones aren't bored. Our job is to make sure that thirty minutes saves you ten hours later in the week.

Range skews towards North America and Europe, with members in the Middle East, Latin America, and APAC. We accept members from anywhere. Live sessions run at times that work for the strongest attendance pockets, and where two timezones both have critical mass we run a session twice. Every session is recorded and shared with members afterwards, so if you're in Sydney or Singapore you can still watch what was built. Watching the recording is not the same as being in the room while a build happens — there's a real difference between contributing live and reviewing later — but no one misses content because of where they live.

You'll get a confirmation email from giac@range.community straight away. After that, timing depends on where we are in forming the current cohort. We onboard six to eight members at a time, every two or three weeks, so you might hear back within a few weeks or it could take longer if a cohort has just closed and the next is forming. Every application is reviewed personally before anyone is invited for a call. If we think you're a good fit, we'll reach out to set one up. If you want to check in at any point, email giac@range.community directly.

Range gives you 52 weeks of live builder sessions, a vetted peer room of Director-to-VP comp leaders, and a Vault of GitHub repositories — prototypes built openly in the community and ready-to-use blueprints — not two days at a conference or three meetings a year. For context: the Mercer Technology Forum costs companies around £2,000 (~$2,500) for three meetings a year; a WorldatWork Total Rewards conference ticket runs around £1,500 (~$1,900) for members before flights and hotel. Range is £1,000 (~$1,300) per year. Most members recover the cost from a single piece of work built inside the community.

Yes. At £1,000 a year it is a single professional development line item, comparable to a conference ticket or a Mercer Technology Forum seat. Most members expense it without a separate approval process. If you need a receipt or an invoice in a specific format, email giac@range.community.

No, deliberately. Range is a room, not a funnel. We don't want members turning into a sales force, or feeling pressure to vouch for someone they're not sure about. And every applicant goes through the same considered review, no matter who introduced them — a referral incentive would push us to lower the bar. If you think a peer would belong here, send them the apply link. The review process is the same for everyone.

Your membership belongs to you, not your employer. If you change roles or companies, you keep your membership, your founding rate, and access to everything you have built inside the community. The only thing that changes is the company in your profile.

Because membership is interview-gated, you will know exactly what you are joining before you pay. If something does not match what you were told, email giac@range.community within 30 days of your onboarding date and we will sort it.
