I use the term "plantser" (plotter+pantser) but my definition isn't the usual.

I don't start the first draft until I have plotted the story. But thanks to my writing based on emotional beats, after 50% I usually start pantsing based on a clearer picture of inter-character dynamics.

For example, in a project I (thought I) was close to finishing, the MC was supposed to escape and hand over her evidence to the police. But with a clearer picture of the beef between the MC and the villain, the MC now throws down with the villain, with the MC's police contact bringing back-up.
