The waterfall
LEC resolves commission in this order: deal-specific rate > tier rate > program default. There is no implicit fallback below program default.
Worked example
A Solution partner on Tier 2 closes a 100,000 € deal:
- Deal-level override: none
- Tier 2 rate: 18%
- Program default: 12% (ignored — tier already matched)
Resulting payout: 18,000 €.
Tips
- Use deal-level overrides sparingly — they bypass tier governance.
- Tier upgrades take effect on the next deal closed.
