| Performance Tier 2 | +3% |
The accelerator is based on qualifying retained and expanded revenue rather than customer count. BACI will establish the applicable annual revenue thresholds for each account portfolio.

Audience size, impressions, views, followers, engagement, leads or enquiries alone do not constitute qualifying business. A paying BACI customer must result from the activity.
HOW COMMISSION WORKS
Individual business basis
Commission is calculated separately for each qualifying business generated by the Consultant. Each qualifying business has its own commission lifecycle beginning on the date that business first becomes a paying BACI customer.
There is no portfolio-wide commission pool. A Consultant who generates multiple qualifying businesses may earn commission separately on each one.
Year 1, acquisition commission
For originating roles, Year 1 consists of the first 12 months of each qualifying business's paying relationship with BACI. The applicable role-specific Year 1 commission is calculated on qualifying net revenue actually received by BACI.
Year 2, continuity commission
Where applicable, Year 2 consists of months 13–24 of that individual qualifying business's paying relationship with BACI. Continuity Commission is payable only while the customer remains active, paid and in good standing.
If the customer downgrades, commission is calculated on the qualifying net revenue actually received at the lower level. If the customer cancels during Year 2, Continuity Commission ends when qualifying payments to BACI end. Annual accelerator percentages do not carry into the Continuity Commission.
End of originating commission
Unless a role-specific agreement expressly provides otherwise, originating commission ends after the completion of the qualifying business's second 12-month commission period. No perpetual commission, residual interest or ownership interest in a BACI customer is created.
Annual accelerators
Annual accelerator performance is measured over each rolling twelve months from the Consultant's start date, resetting on their anniversary. Nobody is measured on a shorter period because of when in the year they joined.
Resetting the annual accelerator does not affect commission already being earned on qualifying businesses generated in previous years. Accelerated rates apply prospectively after the applicable threshold has been reached and are not retrospectively applied to earlier qualifying business.
Qualifying net revenue
Unless a role-specific structure states otherwise, commission is calculated on qualifying net revenue actually received and cleared by BACI. Qualifying net revenue excludes, as applicable: taxes, VAT and similar government charges; refunds; credits; chargebacks; reversed payments; unpaid or written-off invoices; discounts not actually received by BACI; pass-through costs; and other amounts BACI does not retain as revenue.
Attribution
A Consultant must originate or otherwise qualify for attribution of the business under the requirements of their specific role. BACI may require opportunities to be registered through an approved attribution system.
Where more than one person claims the same opportunity, BACI will determine attribution using the documented origin and development of the opportunity. No commission is created merely by identifying an organisation already known to, registered with or actively engaged by BACI.
Payment
Commission becomes payable only after BACI has actually received and cleared the corresponding qualifying customer payment. Commission calculations and payment schedules will be administered in accordance with the applicable BACI Consultant Terms of Engagement.
Any refund, reversal or chargeback relating to previously commissioned revenue may be deducted from subsequent commission payments where permitted by the applicable terms and law.
Expansion
Where an existing customer increases its BACI spend, expansion commission is calculated only on qualifying incremental revenue where an Account and Renewal Consultant or another expressly authorised Consultant materially generated that expansion. The originating Consultant's Year 2 Continuity Commission remains calculated on the qualifying continuing revenue to which that entitlement applies.
