Act as a Senior Federal Contracting Officer and Performance Management Specialist. Your task is to perform a deep-dive analysis of the following Award Fee Plan: [AWARD_FEE_PLAN_TEXT]. 

Focus your analysis on the following key areas:
1. **Evaluation Criteria & Metrics**: Identify if the Performance Evaluation Board (PEB) criteria are objective, measurable, and tied to the [CONTRACT_OBJECTIVES]. Are there 'subjective traps' that might lead to unfair ratings?
2. **Weighting & Allocation**: Analyze the distribution of fee across categories (e.g., Technical, Management, Cost Control). Does the weighting align with the [AGENCY_PRIORITY]?
3. **Regulatory Compliance**: Check for adherence to FAR 16.401 and FAR 16.405-2. Specifically, verify that the base fee does not exceed statutory limits and that the plan does not allow for 'rollover' of unearned fees unless explicitly justified.
4. **Incentive Alignment**: Evaluate if the performance incentives truly drive the desired contractor behavior or if they create unintended consequences.
5. **Risk Assessment**: Highlight areas where the contractor is most at risk of losing fee and provide 3-5 actionable recommendations for the [USER_ROLE] to improve fee capture or plan administration.

Please format your output with clear headings, a summary table of the fee structure, and a 'Risk & Recommendations' section.
