Decelerator

A comp-plan modifier that pays a lower rate below a threshold, protecting the business from paying full commission on weak performance.

In depth

E.g. 0.5x below 50% attainment. Controversial: too aggressive and the team disengages; too soft and the P&L bleeds. Rare in early-stage, common in public SaaS.
