THE MODEL
We don't sell seats. We take the risk.
SaaS asks you to pay a year in advance for software you might use. RaaS inverts it: we build it, we run it, and we invoice only against results you can measure. If it does not work, you owe us nothing.
$0
Nothing upfront
No implementation fee, no prepaid subscription, no retainer. We carry the cost of the diagnostic, the build, and the pilot.
30%
Of the revenue lift we can measure
A baseline is agreed before anything ships. Only the delta above it is billable, settled quarterly, cancellable any time.
60%
Of your license spend — saved and kept
Retiring redundant seats typically cuts license spend by around 60%. We take no share of that saving.
Run the numbers on your own stack
Move the sliders. Indicative only — the real baseline is set in the diagnostic.
If the lift is zero, our fee is zero. That is the whole downside.
