Pricing Models

Two ways to engage. Both transparent.

Pick the pricing model that fits your situation. Fixed fee for predictable scope and budget approvals. Gain share for zero risk and aligned incentives. Same senior team, same method, same outcome quality.

Model A

Fixed Fee

Scoped engagement. Defined deliverables. Known cost up front. You see the fee before we start work.

Model B

Gain Share

Zero upfront cost. Our fee is a percentage of documented, verified savings. If we don't save you money, you pay nothing.

When Fixed Fee Wins

Predictability beats optimization.

If your finance team needs a clear PO before work starts, if scope is well defined, or if savings will be hard to measure (new contract with no historical baseline), fixed fee is the cleaner model.

Typical fixed fee engagements range from $35K for a single-module benchmark to $250K+ for a full multi-module enterprise negotiation including SI partner cost review.

When Gain Share Wins

When savings are quantifiable, share the upside.

For renewals — where the baseline is the existing contract — gain share aligns our incentives perfectly with yours. We earn more when you save more. We earn nothing if you save nothing.

Gain share works best on engagements with $1M+ of expected savings. Baseline is signed jointly. Savings are verified against the baseline by both sides before any invoice is issued.

Gain share meant we could approve the engagement in a week. There was no PO line item to fight for — if they didn't save us money, they wouldn't be paid. The CFO approved it on the spot.
