Performance-based automation pilot
A small automation build with numbers attached.
For the right business process, I'll lower the upfront build cost and tie my upside to measured improvement. It only works when the baseline is clean and nobody has to guess at attribution.
When it's fair
Conditions for performance-based pricing
- The process has enough volume to actually measure.
- The business can put a dollar value on the improvement.
- I can get the access I need to build safely.
- Both sides agree on what happens if the metric doesn't move.
Guardrails
How the deal stays clean
- Baseline first, before anything gets built.
- Payment trigger and attribution rules written down.
- One business process. Support and handoff included.
- Results review before anyone talks about expanding.
Where it fits
Processes that work for this
Slow quote follow-up. Missed lead response. Inventory cleanup. Order visibility. Repetitive document work. Admin handoffs. Reporting where the time saved, errors avoided, or revenue at risk can be measured. Anywhere fuzzy, this is not the right structure.
Metrics we'd track
- Baseline volume
- Time saved
- Response speed
- Recovered or protected revenue
Discuss a measurable pilot
If the process has a real baseline, we can talk through whether performance-based pricing makes sense for both sides.
