Services
We can help you in the following areas:
- Evaluate your data to isolate the impact of special grants, reductions in force, acquisitions or spin-offs, and other unique circumstances that can bias your forfeiture rates
- Analyze your historical forfeiture patterns to determine the effect of changing granting practices and how the forfeiture rates change over time
- Identify different groups within your organization that tend to exhibit different forfeiture behavior
- Use our bottom-up, actuarial approach to calculating forfeiture rates to avoid the systematic biases of the more simplified calculations performed by common software tools
- Perform hypothetical or backtest analyses to measure forecast variances under different forfeiture rate application techniques (static, dynamic, and versions of each)
- Correlate forfeiture patterns to other organizational variables to link equity compensation to turnover and other business metrics
Avoid constant true-ups and minimize your budget-to-actual variances with forfeiture rates that are historically sound and representationally faithful.
