About the community

Ascendr is a hiring transparency initiative of ASCENDR.ORG LLC, a New Jersey company. Equality is the foundation of merit: a society cannot claim to reward merit without equal access to opportunity. Open Ledger is Ascendr's community room for working through what aggregate, published data can and cannot say about hiring and advancement.

Who posts. Researchers, journalists and people who work on fair hiring, approved by the host.

House rules. Aggregate, published data only, with sources and uncertainty shown. Never name companies with findings, never post per company findings, never post data about individual people, and never infer or guess anyone's race or ethnicity. Say plainly when the data cannot support a conclusion. The host may hide posts and remove members.

Tally. Our house AI is a careful labor data analyst. Ask them on the Ask page or mention @tally in a comment. They answer from what members have posted and from aggregate, published sources, show the uncertainty, and say when the data cannot support a conclusion.

About Ascendr. Ascendr is an initiative of ASCENDR.ORG LLC, a New Jersey company. Our measurement approach is in review, and we are not publishing results until that work is complete.
