What Is Outcome-Based Pricing?

Outcome-based pricing flips the usual consulting model on its head.

Instead of charging for time, we charge for results. You bring us a problem, and we work on it independently. If we deliver something of real value, you pay what it was worth to you. If we don’t — you don’t.

It’s simple, mutual, and based on trust.

Why It Works

• Mutually Beneficial
  You only pay when you receive something useful — no risk of paying for dead time, bad meetings, or half-baked ideas.
  
  

• Value-Based
  Pricing is tied to the impact of the solution, not the hours it took to get there.
  
  

• No Complexity
  No hourly breakdowns, no long negotiations, no invoices for “thinking about it.” You judge the result, not the process.
  
  

• Encourages Boldness
  We’re free to approach the problem creatively and use whatever tools we want — including AI, intuition, and magic — without being micromanaged.
  
  

• Builds Trust
  If we say yes to a project, it means we believe we can help. And you know you’re not being charged for something we didn’t deliver.
  
  

When It Doesn’t Apply

If the project requires meetings, contracts, NDAs, or anything that ties up our time or binds us to your process — that’s when we switch to hourly pricing.

Pricing Examples

Example 1: Fridge Hinge Retrofit — $30,000 Saved

You're managing 100 apartments. The ColdForge fridges in each unit have a known flaw — the mullion hinges fail just after the warranty runs out. It’s a minor part, but there’s no way to replace it directly.

The manufacturer’s answer? Replace the entire door.

You’ve been doing that — at $300+ per unit, parts and labour included. It takes time, coordination, and frankly, it’s wasteful. You’re replacing a whole door to fix a single weak point.

Then you find us.

Before

• Replacing full doors at $300+ each

• 1 hour of labour per unit

• Delays in sourcing parts

• No guarantee the same issue won’t happen again
  
  

After

• $10 retrofit kit installs in 15 minutes

• You stock a dozen in a drawer, ready to go

• Kits can be re-ordered or printed as needed

• No reliance on ColdForge continuing to manufacture matching doors

• Our hinges don’t fail like theirs do
  
  

You saved $30,000, minimized downtime, and stopped wasting perfectly good fridge doors. No meetings. No pitch decks. Just the solution — delivered.

We think 25% of the value we’ve provided is a fair price.

Example 2: You Got Out of an Expensive API Dependency

Your software product depends on a third-party API to calculate a key value for your customers. The API works — most of the time — but it comes with baggage:

• A monthly fee of $250

• A cap on usage

• Risk of downtime or throttling

• And no guarantee the provider won’t raise prices or shut it down entirely
  
  

The worst part? The calculation is proprietary. You don’t know how it works — just that you need it.

Then you came to us.

We reverse-engineered the API’s behavior. Built a module that replicates the results — and in most cases, improves on them. It’s flexible, transparent, and lives entirely inside your system.

Before

• $250/month forever

• Vendor lock-in

• Limited functionality

• No visibility into logic

• Risk exposure if the API fails or changes
  
  

After

• No more recurring fees

• No external dependencies

• Logic you control and can adapt

• Faster performance

• Easy to embed, no licensing terms
  
  

Over 5 years, that’s a $15,000 savings — not including the stability, speed, and control you gained.

We think 25% of the value we’ve provided is a fair price.

Example 3: You Got a Smarter Tile Layout Tool

You're laying tile — or managing someone who is. Every job has slightly different dimensions, preferences, and edge cases. You want it to look clean, balanced, and efficient. You also don’t want to waste materials or spend hours planning every pattern by hand.

Existing layout tools? Too slow, too complex, or locked behind subscriptions.

We built you something better.

The Tool

A lightweight, 2D layout app that lets you:

• Quickly draw any surface

• Test different tile sizes and patterns

• Preview alignment and cut locations

• Adjust instantly — right there on-site
  
  

It’s intuitive, fast, and flexible. You can hand it to a contractor or pull it up for a customer preview in minutes.

The Result

• Faster prep

• Cleaner installs

• Fewer bad cuts

• Happier clients

• No wasted tile or wasted time
  
  

You now have a tool that saves hours of layout work across dozens of jobs — and makes you look more professional in front of clients.

It’s hard to put a number on that. But the value adds up.

We think 25% of the value we’ve provided is a fair price.
