Level Nonconformance Threshold Monthly Invoice Reduction A Performance Threshold 10% B 2x Performance Threshold 15% C 3x Performance Threshold or more 20% D Every 5 validated nonconformances beyond 3x Threshold Additional +3% per 5 nonconformances Illustrative Examples: Example A: If the threshold is 5 deficiencies, the '3x threshold' is 15.
