First Employer Deployment
A bounded operating engagement — scope, commitment, and commercial boundaries at a glance
Up to 5
situations within scope during a 90-day intake period
$10,000
initial fee commitment, credited 100%
20%
share of the contractually defined performance base
$50,000
total Engine compensation cap
Within an agreed scope, every available workplace-injury or return-to-work situation enters during a 90-day intake period, up to the five-situation cohort the pilot fee schedule covers. A $10,000 initial fee commitment credited 100% against a 20% share of the contractually defined performance base. In the absence of adjustments or third-party deductions, no additional Engine compensation becomes payable until final verified attributable savings exceed $50,000. Total Engine compensation under the pilot fee schedule is capped at $50,000. No savings forecast, guaranteed return, or historical yield is promised.
What “bounded” means here
The first deployment is bounded so the data, responsibilities, proof method, and acceptance criteria can be agreed. Within that boundary, every available employer-paid healthcare situation enters. Situations are not selected because they already look problematic — what is bounded is the scope, not which situations are allowed in.
Valid boundaries
- A defined employer, population, plan, or location
- Authorized source connections
- A defined deployment period
- An agreed economic and verification method
- Agreed acceptance criteria
Not valid boundaries
- Handpicking situations that already look suspicious
- Admitting only high-risk or high-cost situations
- Defining the deployment as a single chosen episode

Engagement Deliverables & Operating Output
What Is Produced and Maintained During the Pilot
The $10,000 initial fee purchases a bounded operating engagement covering up to five entered situations.
Deliverables Included
Situation Records: Establishment and maintenance of structured situation records for up to five entered situations. A situation counts toward the five-situation limit once the employer authorizes record establishment.
Engine Answers: Production and maintenance of an Engine Answer for each entered situation—connecting governing facts, responsibility, authority, accountable actions, required evidence, applicable deadlines established through proper authority, and unresolved economic exposure.
Action & Evidence Tracking: Recording and tracking of assigned actions, evidence submissions, operational delays, and verification states across the responsible parties connected to each situation.
Pilot-End Employer Operating Record: A pilot-end Employer Operating Record preserving the supported state, action history, and evidence record of all entered situations—showing what the examined records support, which actions were assigned, accepted, claimed as executed, evidenced, verified, contradicted, delayed, or left insufficient.
Operational Prerequisites & Participation Requirements
Designated Authority, Contacts, and Record Access
To enable effective operation across entered situations, the participating employer agrees to designate and provide:
Internal Authority Holder: A designated internal leader with authority to authorize situation entry, approve or direct appropriate internal action, and initiate escalation when required.
Operating Contact: A primary point of contact responsible for operational coordination and administrative routing.
Record Access: Timely access to necessary situation files, TPA reports, medical documentation, wage records, and correspondence required to establish and maintain situation records.
Responsible Participants: Identification of and access to responsible internal and vendor participants connected to assigned actions and evidence fulfillment.
Commercial Structure & Fee Crediting
Calculable Commitment, Performance Thresholds, and Capped Compensation
Initial Fee Commitment: $10,000 payable upon contract initiation. This fixed fee purchases the bounded operating work and record establishment. It is not reduced automatically if fewer than five situations enter during the intake period.
Performance Share: 20% of the contractually defined performance base, calculated from final verified attributable savings after applicable attribution, non-duplication, adjustment, and reversal rules.
100% Fee Crediting: The initial $10,000 fee is credited entirely against The Engine's 20% performance share.
Payment Threshold: No additional Engine compensation beyond the credited $10,000 becomes payable unless the performance calculation exceeds that amount. In the absence of adjustments or third-party deductions, additional payment begins above $50,000 of final verified attributable savings.
Engine Compensation Ceiling: Total Engine compensation under the pilot fee schedule is capped at $50,000 across the cohort. At the $50,000 compensation cap, additional verified attributable savings do not increase The Engine’s fee. Employer-retained net value remains subject to employer-borne and third-party costs.
Intake Window vs. Result Reconciliation: Situations must enter during the 90-day intake period. Evidence submission, verification, economic reconciliation, and true-up may continue afterward under the applicable contractual boundaries.
Savings Qualification Rules
How Economic Results Are Verified, Attributed, and Adjusted
Performance compensation applies strictly to economic results that meet five contractual criteria:
Actually Realized: The economic result is actually realized within the agreed attribution boundary and supported under the accounting, financial-record, and verification rules defined in the pilot agreement.
Contractually Attributable: The result is attributable under the agreed method to an accountable action recorded through The Engine and executed by the party holding the relevant authority. Attribution must use a contractually agreed binary inclusion rule (eligible or excluded) or a predefined allocation rule established before the economic outcome is known. Post hoc percentage negotiations are prohibited.
Supported by Authoritative Evidence: The cost reduction is supported by explicit documentation. Required evidence depends on the situation and may include, without limitation, employer financial records, payroll records, signed work-status or return-to-work documentation, TPA or carrier records, billing adjustments, or other authoritative records.
Non-Duplicative (Anti-Stacking): If another party is entitled to contingent compensation from the same economic result, that compensation is disclosed and deducted from the savings base used to calculate The Engine’s performance share, according to the pilot’s attribution and non-duplication rules.
Settled Under True-Up Rules: If a previously verified economic result is later reduced or reversed during the agreed true-up period, the eligible savings base and The Engine’s earned compensation are recalculated. Any confirmed overpayment is refunded in cash within 30 days.
Employer Yield & Financial Sensitivity
Calculating Employer Net Retained Value and Zero-Savings Outcomes
Illustrative calculation only. These figures use stated employer-cost assumptions and assume no adjustments, reversals, or third-party compensation. Actual employer break-even is determined from the final verified savings and actual costs recorded for the engagement.
| Modeled employer-borne costs (CEmployer) | Initial Engine fee commitment (F) | Modeled employer cost before verified savings | Savings required to break even (SBE) | Net employer retained value at $50k verified savings | Net employer retained value at $150k verified savings* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0 (negligible effort) | $10,000 | $10,000 | $10,000 | +$40,000 | +$120,000 |
| $2,500 (baseline assumption) | $10,000 | $12,500 | $12,500 | +$37,500 | +$117,500 |
| $5,000 (moderate involvement) | $10,000 | $15,000 | $15,000 | +$35,000 | +$115,000 |
| $10,000 (high involvement) | $10,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 | +$30,000 | +$110,000 |
*Note: At $150,000 of final verified attributable savings, the modeled Engine compensation is $30,000 under the stated 20% share and remains below the $50,000 cap.
What Occurs at $0 Verified Savings
If entered situations yield zero final verified attributable savings:
- No additional Engine compensation beyond the credited $10,000 becomes payable.
- The initial $10,000 purchases the bounded operating work, Engine Answers for entered situations, and the pilot-end Employer Operating Record preserving the supported state of those situations.
Proof Boundaries & Next Steps
Commercial Intent, Operational Testing, and Contacting the Team
Proof Boundaries & Non-Forecast Declarations
Not Historically Validated: The numerical pilot terms and expected employer yield have not been validated against a historical One3EMS or comparable employer dataset. No savings level or return is represented as historically established.
Product Work First: The pilot delivers bounded operating value on live situations while establishing whether accountable actions, economic attribution, verification, and the commercial structure work under actual employer conditions.
Operational Variables: Factors measured, confirmed, or refined through live engagement include total employer-borne costs (CEmployer), third-party vendor entitlements (Tthird-party), situation volume up to five, execution speed, and claim development or reversal history (Qreversal).
