Partner Incentive Payout Governance Review

Use this skill to convert partner incentive, referral payout, reseller rebate, marketplace bounty, affiliate commission, MDF, SPIF, payout dispute, clawback, attribution, and channel incentive governance questions into a concrete artifact with owners, gates, metrics, and recovery paths.

Workflow

1. Identify partner type, incentive objective, eligible actions, attribution source, payout formula, quality gate, approval authority, invoice/tax path, clawback rule, dispute route, fraud signals, and ROI measurement.
2. Read references/partner-incentive-payout-governance-patterns.md.
3. Classify the situation as referral commission, reseller rebate, implementation bonus, marketplace bounty, affiliate payout, marketing development fund, sales SPIF, renewal incentive, or disputed payout.
4. Define eligibility rules, attribution model, calculation source, payout approval, evidence requirements, quality/retention gates, clawback policy, dispute workflow, fraud controls, partner communication, and performance review.
5. Produce partner incentive governance review, state machine, decision table, event schema, payout checklist, dispute policy, and ROI monitoring plan.
