People may have missed the point about this evaluation and may like to read more about the JEGS programme.

My understanding is that the IFA (or its appointed agent Frank Price) carries out an internal assessment first which is then entered into the JEGS programme and that derives JEGS 'scores' for each grade of membership (or the 14 levels initially mentioned by David).
The 'comparison' with other bodies compares the salary scale for equal JEGS scores (and in that sense the similarity of any post is irrelevant, it's the JEGS score that is being compared and not the day to day work).
As the JEGS system is adminstered by central government (the Cabinet Office I believe), one assumes that the end result of a JEGS compasion is 'accepted' as correct and fair. Comparisons outside of JEGS could be open to doubt.....I am guessing that English Heritage have not undertaken a JEGS review and that is why they are not included as a comparison body.
I think that we might all be surprised at the result of this exercise (but I'm not going to order the new three-piece suite just yet!!).
