Behind the range

A useful estimate, with the assumptions in view.

  1. 01

    Start with supplier-related sales

    Enter the sales tied to your suppliers. The model treats 100% of this amount as supplier-linked, with no industry-based reduction. Industry is retained for context and benchmarking.

  2. 02

    Apply a balanced funding range

    The model applies 2%–4% to estimated supplier-linked sales—a centered range within the wider 1%–5% reference often used for channel and co-op funding.

  3. 03

    Adjust for supplier depth

    More active supplier relationships can create more possible programs, but actual eligibility still depends on vendor rules, tier, timing, and approval.

Methodology context: TechTarget on MDF and co-op structures, and LegalClarity on common co-op accrual ranges. Pearl's model is deliberately directional and is not financial advice.
