The method: numbers that can be defended
One indefensible number in a boardroom and the whole premise collapses. That is why the method is not an appendix. It is the product.
1. The goal is a better process, not one lucky project
Temmio is about data maturity: making the work with people more data-driven and digitalised. So the pressure is not on the first initiative delivering a perfect result. Best case: it worked, and you can prove it. Worst case: it did not, but now you can see it, stop in time and spend the funds more effectively next round. The method improved even if the project did not. And every report upward shows both the human and the financial development, all the way to the board.
2. You do not have to know the numbers by heart
A common worry is that you must be sharp on every single figure the moment you start using them. That is not how it works anywhere else. A doctor looks things up, and it does not undermine their expertise. Most CFOs have to recompute or look up their own internal figures. Spending 20 to 60 minutes of a meeting doing the arithmetic together is not a good use of anyone's time, and nobody expects it. What is expected is access: that you can send the calculation after the meeting. In the research interviews behind Temmio, the demand for instant recall never came up. What people asked for was the formulas next to the numbers, so anyone in doubt could check the work. That is why assumptions and formulas travel with every number in the reports, without crowding the decision itself.
3. The TEMM scale
TEMM stands for Technological Employee Management Maturity: a 1 to 6 scale for how systematically an organisation uses data, technology and financial logic in decisions about people. The level is earned through actual use, not by self-assessment alone.
1 Reactive · 2 Preventive · 3 Condition-based · 4 Predictive · 5 Strategic · 6 Prescriptive
4. From data to money
Absence and turnover are translated into DKK per year using your own salary shares and compared with Statistics Denmark benchmark profiles for industry, sector and size. Assumptions always sit next to the number.
5. Effect is measured against control groups
When you run an initiative, effect is measured with difference-in-differences: the affected teams' development is compared with comparable teams without the initiative. That separates the initiative's effect from everything else that also happened.
6. Honest confidence
Every result gets one of four confidence tiers: Not enough data, Preliminary, Moderate, Strong. "Not enough data" is a possible answer, and we say it when it is the answer.
7. No individuals
Temmio only works with aggregated numbers at team level and never shows groups below an anonymity threshold. Individual scores do not exist in the product. Read more on the employee page.
