> - How is the kicker pool redistributed? Equally or along the lines of people's current distributions of equity?

Along the lines of current (fully vested) distribution. So if there are three employees - Lisa, Erin, and Aaron, and Lisa has 5%, Erin has 2% and Aaron has 3%, then Lisa would get 50% of the kicker pool.

> Curious if you have opinion on where the threshold should be set?

I do have an opinion, if the 18 year old version of myself heard it, he'd want to punch the 34 year old version of me in the face, so I'm going to let you guys figure out your own number and not put myself in a position of defending a position that I'm semi ashamed of anyway.

> And if it eventually makes sense to do tiers of thresholds? Or if you think the simplicity makes it make sense not to.

We decided to keep things simple treat financial independence as a binary state, but you could definitely do tiers if you wanted to.
