Event 03 · The scoreboardAI Incentive Calculator

AI that calculates every incentive and flags what looks wrong

The calculator applies your plan to every rep from your actual sales data, then checks its own work. Anything unusual is flagged with a plain reason, so finance and sales heads review a short list instead of re-checking the whole sheet. People approve. Nothing is paid automatically.

What it does

Inside AI Incentive Calculator

Reads your sales data

Invoices from billing software, secondary sales from distributors, CRM deals or a scheduled upload, matched to reps and territories.

Applies the plan to every rep

Slabs, kickers, caps, splits and clawbacks are applied the same way for every rep, every time, with each step recorded.

Flags returns and credit notes

Returns and credit notes not yet set off against sales are flagged, with the effect on each rep's slab shown.

Catches duplicates and spikes

Duplicate invoices, split invoices and sales spikes on the last day of the month are flagged for a second look.

Explains every flag

Each flag says what was found, which reps it affects and how much the payout changes if it is accepted or adjusted.

Human approval, always

The calculation stays in draft until the sales head and finance head approve. Every decision is logged.

Common questions

Asked by sales and finance heads

Does AI approve payouts?

No. The AI calculates and flags. Your finance and sales heads approve every payout before it goes to payroll.

What if a flag is wrong?

Accept it as is with a comment. The comment is saved with the payout, and the AI learns which patterns your team treats as normal.

Can we see how a number was calculated?

Yes. Every rep's payout opens into the full working: sales credited, achievement, slab, kickers, adjustments and the plan version used.

Fair pay and responsible AI

The rules every payout follows

  • AI calculates and flags. Finance and sales heads approve every payout.
  • Every salesperson can see exactly how their payout was calculated and raise a query.
  • Leaderboards show ranks and achievements, never personal earnings, and never shame low performers.
  • Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and data is never sold.
