Decision log

Each resolved tradeoff becomes a logged decision with an owner and a downstream phase dependency. This is what Phase 2 design starts from.

  1. Pod model with distinct RM/CSM primary metrics

    May 9, 2026

    Distinct primary metrics for RM (commercial) and CSM (consumption), with 15% joint NRR multiplier.

    Owner · RevOps VPFeeds → Phase 2 — Plan design
  2. Joint NRR multiplier sized at 15% of variable

    May 9, 2026

    Confirmed via modeling sensitivity. Below 10% loses signal; above 20% dilutes primary.

    Owner · Sales Strategy LeadFeeds → Phase 2 — Plan design
  3. Product B renewal stays as guardrail, not primary

    May 7, 2026

    Visibility matters more than dollar weight. Avoids 'Product B no longer matters' field misread.

    Owner · RevOps VPFeeds → Phase 2 — Plan design
  4. Quarterly smoothing on consumption measurement

    May 7, 2026

    Reduces month-to-month payout volatility from PAYG seasonality.

    Owner · Sales Strategy LeadFeeds → Phase 3 — Modeling
  5. Trailing run-rate PAYG baselined into quota

    May 5, 2026

    Reps paid on delta (net new + growth above baseline). PAYG → commit conversion as accelerator.

    Owner · RevOps VPFeeds → Phase 4 — Operationalize
  6. Manager-first enablement cascade

    May 5, 2026

    Managers receive plan training one week before reps. Office hours run weeks 1–4 post-launch.

    Owner · Solutions LeadFeeds → Phase 5 — Approve & enable
  7. EMEA compliance review gated to Phase 4

    May 3, 2026

    Cannot ship without EMEA legal sign-off on consumption-based payout structures.

    Owner · EMEA Sales LeadFeeds → Phase 4 — Operationalize
