MWITA-SBO-2026-005 · Evidence B · P1
Reducing sales-target ratcheting by one standard deviation was associated with a 19% increase in sales output.
What this does not establish
Does not demonstrate that eliminating all target updates produces 34% to 39% realized growth; evidence comes from one firm, category and contractual setting.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The largest loss arises when moving from little or no ratcheting to some ratcheting, rather than increasing linearly at all levels.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial or human outcomes.
