Layer 2 — Adjustable Benefits (Negotiation Table)

These benefits are not locked in the formal proposal. They are offered flexibly during negotiations with Platinum and Gold sponsors. Each row can be toggled on or off per sponsor and added to the sponsorship agreement.

How to use this table: When meeting a Platinum or Gold prospect, go through each row and confirm which apply. Mark the agreed benefits on the sponsor's individual agreement sheet, not in this file.
