ICM Readiness Checklist

Answer a few quick questions to see your readiness score. Use it to align Finance, HR, and GTM leaders.

We run more than one type of variable pay (commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, team KPIs).

We have multiple teams on variable pay (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, Engineering).

Our incentive plans include tiers, accelerators, caps/floors, or special rules.

We rely on data from multiple systems (CRM, billing, HR/payroll, ERP) to calculate payouts.

Most of our incentive calculations are managed in complex spreadsheets.

Only one or two people truly understand the current incentive spreadsheets and logic.

We do not have a reliable audit trail of who changed what and when in incentive logic.

Employees lack self-serve visibility into current attainment and projected payouts.

We frequently handle payout disputes via email/chat with limited traceability.

It’s hard to forecast incentive spend or run what-if scenarios on plan changes.

Finance, HR, and GTM leaders don’t share a single view of total variable pay across departments.

We’ve experienced at least one high-impact error or near miss in incentive payouts.

Who this checklist is for

This checklist is built for:

  • CFOs and Finance leaders managing incentive spend and reporting
  • CHROs and People leaders responsible for total rewards and pay-for-performance
  • Revenue / Sales Ops teams owning commission plans and SPIFs
  • GTM leaders in Sales, Marketing and Customer Success
  • Product and Engineering leaders experimenting with performance-based incentives
Bentega is designed as a cross-functional ICM platform for Finance, HR and GTM teams. Your readiness score helps you see how close you are to needing that level of governance and visibility.
