Explanation:
...you used the same generic explanation for all the terms asked so far. A "ratchet" could be a specific embedded option feature that re-sets a payoff in the event of certain developments (in the absence of a listed market price, VC structures would probably use profitability targets, or peer-group benchmarks). However, without more context, this is pure guesswork...
