Step 2: Design the base:variable split (common: 50:50 for AE, 70:30 for CSM).

Step 4: Quota setting methodology — how to set quotas that are achievable but stretch-oriented. Step 5: SPIFFs and non-monetary incentives for specific behaviors we want to drive. Step 6: Model the plan — show total comp at 70%, 100%, and 125% attainment. Flag any design choices that could create perverse incentives.
