The case

HR co-worker products validate the interface category, while no standalone HR workflow MCP service was found. Hrelay must distinguish information from decisions: employee request, identity, source fact, handbook excerpt, generated explanation, workflow proposal, policy evaluation, human approval, command, provider acknowledgement, destination readback, employee notice, correction, and employment outcome remain separate.

Who pays — and why

An HR systems, people operations, employee experience, or IT leader at a company with roughly one hundred to one thousand employees seeking assistant-based self-service across existing HR tools. Exact role, workforce, systems, tool scope, budget, and current chatbot remain incomplete.

Market signalAn adjacent human-resources platform was observed at $10–$25 per employee per month, while the closest co-worker products had custom or unpublished pricing. This does not establish the proposed $4–$12 price.Observed market reference, not fixed product pricing
What it unlocks
Tenant and employee identity mapped to role, employment relationship, entity, country, manager, delegated authority, consent, session, source system, and tool scopes
Read tools that return source-linked balances, org data, documents, benefits information, and handbook excerpts with freshness, jurisdiction, eligibility boundaries, and human escalation
Write proposals for time off, personal information, documents, onboarding, benefits events, expenses, and meetings with typed inputs, preview, approval, command, acknowledgement, destination readback, notice, and correction
Protected boundaries excluding hiring, firing, discipline, compensation, promotion, protected leave, disability, accommodation, benefits eligibility, legal interpretation, and other consequential decisions from autonomous action

8
Asymmetric leverage

Tool schemas and policy boundaries are reusable, while customer integrations and employment review remain material.

7
Temporal window

Current agent orchestration creates a timely channel, though first-party HR vendors can respond.

4
Why nobody did it

Chatbots exist, but the original record verified none of four interfaces and no newly broken barrier is shown.

Why it scored well

Live HR co-worker products validate employee self-service, a standalone orchestration surface was not found, and reusable tool contracts offer leverage across mid-market systems.

What's holding it back

The stored score is zero. The buyer is incomplete, all four original interfaces were unverified, the closest product identity is ambiguous, HR platforms can expose first-party tools, and employment authority, privacy, integrations, policy interpretation, accessibility, and support are high-risk.
