Performance-based automation pilot

A small automation build that has to prove itself.

For the right workflow, I am open to a lower upfront build cost with upside tied to measured improvement. That only makes sense when the baseline and attribution are clear.

When performance-based pricing can be fair

  • The workflow has enough volume to measure.
  • The business can agree on what improvement is worth.
  • The owner can give access to the tools and data needed to build safely.
  • Both sides can define what happens if the metric does not move.

How I set the guardrails

  1. Set the baseline before building.
  2. Define the payment trigger and attribution rules.
  3. Build one workflow with support and handoff included.
  4. Review the results before expanding the system.

Where this can work

A pilot can fit slow quote follow-up, missed lead response, repetitive document work, admin handoffs, or reporting where the time savings or revenue risk is measurable.

What I would measure first

  • Baseline volume
  • Time saved
  • Response speed
  • Recovered or protected revenue

Discuss a measurable pilot

If the workflow has a real baseline, we can talk through whether a performance-based structure is fair and measurable.
