Use Case Breakdowns & Agent Prompts

1. MNC Total Rewards & Compensation Benchmarking

• Scenario: A global HR or finance team needs verified market bands for hiring senior engineers in Shanghai vs. Singapore.

• Prompt to paste into Claude / Cursor / Antigravity:

  "Use TeamedUp Intelligence to compare P25, P50, P75, and P90 monthly base salaries for Software Engineer at Senior seniority in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. Also check the 6-month salary trend in Shanghai."

• Tools invoked: get_market_summary, get_salary_trend

2. China Entity Budgeting & All-In Statutory Cost (五险一金)

• Scenario: A foreign company budgeting China headcount needs true employer cost (gross salary + mandatory municipal social insurance & housing fund contributions), not just base pay.

• Prompt:

  "Calculate the all-in employer cost in CNY and USD for a Product Manager in Shanghai vs Chengdu using TeamedUp Intelligence's market median P50 salary and municipal 五险一金 caps."

• Tools invoked: calculate_all_in_employer_cost

3. Cross-City R&D Hub & Offshoring Arbitrage

• Scenario: Evaluating whether to expand an engineering team in Beijing/Shanghai or open a satellite hub in Chengdu, Wuhan, or Suzhou.

• Prompt:

  "Run a compensation arbitrage analysis for 10 AI & Machine Learning Engineer hires comparing Beijing against Chengdu and Hangzhou. Show annual cash savings and extra headcount runway."

• Tools invoked: calculate_compensation_arbitrage

4. Tech Stack & Skill Premium Analysis

• Scenario: Identifying which skills command the highest pay premium in China's AI or semiconductor sectors.

• Prompt:

  "What are the top 10 highest-paying in-demand skills for Algorithm Engineer roles in Shenzhen?"

• Tools invoked: get_skill_demand

5. Competitive Talent & Employer Intelligence

• Scenario: Benchmarking a specific competitor's hiring footprint and salary ranges.

• Prompt:

  "Search TeamedUp Intelligence for ByteDance (or 字节跳动), inspect its firmographic profile, and list its recent job postings and salary bands."

• Tools invoked: search_companies → get_company_info → get_company_jobs

Methodology & Data Integrity

• Units: All salaries are normalized to Gross Monthly Base Salary in CNY (RMB). Annualized compensation benchmarks in China typically reflect Monthly × 13–15 (14 months benchmark standard).

• Cross-Border APAC Normalization: Non-CNY APAC postings (HKD, TWD, SGD, AUD) are normalized using pinned FX reference rates and annual-to-monthly conversion rules so cross-market comparisons remain apples-to-apples.

• Statistical Rigor: Public cohorts enforce minimum sample thresholds (N >= 20) and NBS-aligned outlier filtering. See Methodology & NBS Audit.
