Pay The Engine from savings it proves — not before.
A pilot aligns the incentive precisely: The Engine earns an agreed portion of verified savings, and the employer keeps most of the demonstrated benefit.
- 1
Define the scope
Choose the spending area, the population, the process, and the vendor relationship the pilot will hold accountable.
- 2
Set the rules — before any work begins
Agree in writing how evidence is established, how amounts are attributed, what is excluded, how savings are verified, and how and when The Engine is paid. Nothing is decided after the fact.
- 3
Run The Engine against the accountable process
The Engine reconstructs what happened, connects it to supported cost, excludes what the record does not support, and shows the math for every case.
- 4
Pay only on verified savings
The Engine earns an agreed contractual share of savings the record verifies. The employer keeps the rest. If nothing is verified, there is nothing to share.
- The employer retains most of the demonstrated benefit.
- The Engine is not paid for activity, hours, or promises — only for savings the record verifies.
- The share, the scope, and the definitions are configurable and set by contract.
- Economics, verification, exclusions, payment timing, and dispute procedures are established before work begins.
There is no single universal fee, percentage, guarantee, or savings promise. Each pilot is defined on its own terms and agreed before work begins.
