Stop Paying for Hours. Start Investing in Outcomes.
A radical departure from the billable hour. Our partnership models align our compensation directly with the measurable value we deliver — ensuring that every engagement is a true partnership, not a transaction.
An Alliance Model for Every Strategic Need
Your business is unique. Your challenges are specific. That's why a one-size-fits-all payment model doesn't work. We've developed a spectrum of five distinct partnership frameworks. Each is designed to align perfectly with your company's current situation and strategic goals, ensuring a truly symbiotic collaboration.
Crisis-to-Success Partnership
For recovery and turnarounds. This model combines minimal initial contributions with a back-end structure where the balance is covered by a share of the new revenue we generate together. Your success truly becomes our success. Our most senior consultants deploy within days to stabilize, plan, and execute.
Learn more →Performance Partnership
For pure performance correlation. A minimal monthly contribution maintains operations, while the vast majority of our compensation is directly tied to the tangible, measurable results we achieve for your business. Compensation directly correlated with delivered value.
Learn more →Equity Partnership
For the ultimate alliance. No monetary contribution is required. Instead, we convert the full value of our strategic work into an equity stake in your company, betting on long-term growth together. Ideal for high-growth startups with limited capital.
Learn more →Monthly Flow Partnership
For absolute predictability. The total value of our alliance is distributed into identical monthly contributions over the project's duration, providing clear, manageable operational expenses for your business. Seamlessly integrate strategic work into your operational budget.
Learn more →Advance Premium Partnership
For the highest financial efficiency. You make a single, upfront contribution of 70% of the project's total value. In return, the remaining 30% is completely waived, maximizing your return on investment from day one with total cost certainty.
Learn more →Value Impact Index (VII) Pricing
Our flagship model — transparent, quantifiable, performance-aligned. Consulting measured in VII points at CHF 7.30 per point. You only pay for demonstrable value delivered. Covers financial, operational, strategic, and risk impact dimensions.
Alliance Scenarios — Finding Your Fit in the Swiss Market
These models are not abstract theories or marketing concepts. They are battle-tested, practical frameworks that we apply every day to solve real business challenges for companies across Switzerland and Europe. Each scenario below represents an actual client situation we have encountered, demonstrating exactly how our partnership models translate into measurable, tangible outcomes. As you read through these scenarios, consider which one most closely reflects your own business situation — whether you are a startup seeking capital-efficient growth, an established SME navigating a turnaround, or a growing company looking for predictable strategic support. The right partnership model exists for every stage of your journey.
A Lifeline for the Business in a Turnaround
The Situation: A local service business is struggling with outdated processes and declining revenue. Their cash flow is negative, and taking on a large fixed cost is simply not possible. They need expert help but cannot afford the traditional consulting retainer model.
Our Solution: The Crisis-to-Success Partnership removes the upfront barrier entirely by linking our compensation directly to their recovery. We begin work with a minimal contribution covering operational costs, while the substantial balance of our compensation is paid exclusively from a share of the new revenue we help them generate. In a typical engagement, our senior consultants deploy within days to stabilize operations, identify quick-win improvements, and develop a comprehensive recovery roadmap. We work alongside existing leadership, not in place of it, building the internal capabilities needed for sustainable, long-term success.
Accountable Growth for the Ambitious Startup
The Situation: A tech startup in Zurich needs to prove a scalable sales model to attract their next funding round. Every franc of consulting spend must be directly accountable to revenue growth and customer acquisition metrics. They cannot afford open-ended consulting engagements with uncertain outcomes.
Our Solution: The Performance Partnership creates total alignment between our work and their success. A minimal base contribution covers our operational engagement, while the majority of our compensation is tied to achieving pre-defined KPIs such as monthly recurring revenue targets, customer acquisition costs, and sales cycle duration. We co-create a detailed Value Scorecard before the project begins, ensuring complete transparency on what success looks like and how it will be measured. If the KPIs are not met, our compensation is proportionally reduced — real accountability built into the engagement.
The Strategic Partner for the Pre-Seed Venture
The Situation: Two founders with a brilliant idea have the vision, domain expertise, and drive but lack the capital and high-level strategic expertise to develop their MVP, validate their business model, and prepare for institutional funding. Traditional consulting fees would drain their limited runway.
Our Solution: The Equity Partnership charges no monetary fees whatsoever. Instead, we invest our strategic and technical expertise in exchange for an equity stake in the company, becoming part of the founding team in a practical, operational capacity. We contribute to everything from product strategy and technical architecture to investor pitch preparation and network introductions. We share the risk entirely and our reward comes only when the company succeeds, creating pure alignment between our interests and the founders' long-term vision.
Predictability for the Growing E-Commerce Shop
The Situation: A growing e-commerce business in Lausanne wants to implement a CRM and automated marketing system to support their scaling operations. Their revenues are growing month over month, but they operate on a tight monthly budget that cannot absorb large, unpredictable consulting invoices. They need high-level strategic and technical support without disrupting their carefully managed cash flow.
Our Solution: The Monthly Flow Partnership structures the entire project's value into equal, predictable monthly contributions spread across the engagement duration. This transforms a potentially large capital expenditure into a manageable operational expense that fits seamlessly into their monthly budget. They receive the full scope of strategic consulting, system implementation, and team training from day one, while paying in steady increments that align with the revenue growth our work helps them generate.
Certainty for the SME with a Fixed Budget
The Situation: A family-owned mechanical workshop in Aargau needs to digitalize its inventory management, client relationship tracking, and invoicing processes. They have saved a specific budget for this modernization project and cannot exceed it under any circumstances. Cost overruns are simply not an option for their tightly managed finances.
Our Solution: The Advance Premium Partnership eliminates any fear of cost overruns or scope-creep billing. By committing to the alliance with a single upfront payment of 70% of the total project value, they gain complete cost certainty from day one. The remaining 30% of the project value is waived entirely, providing a significant financial advantage while ensuring we are fully committed to delivering the agreed scope on time and on budget. They know exactly what they are paying, what they are getting, and when it will be delivered.

The selection is a collaborative process based on our 'status+perspective' methodology.

The total value of our services is converted into an equity stake in your company — zero cash contribution required. We become a long-term partner, fully invested in your success.
Our guarantee is built into the framework. Before any project begins, we collaboratively create a 'Value Scorecard' defining the KPIs for success. Our compensation in these models is directly tied to meeting these pre-agreed targets. If the value isn't delivered, our compensation is proportionally reduced.
Absolutely. Our framework is designed to be scalable. It's perfectly suited for smaller, well-defined projects such as a cybersecurity audit, a specific process automation, or a market analysis report. For these, a Fixed-Value Project provides a clear scope and a guaranteed price for a tangible outcome.
The first step is a complimentary, no-obligation Value Discovery Call. This is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We listen to your challenges and goals. There is no commitment required. If we both agree there's a basis for a partnership, we schedule a detailed Value Definition Workshop.
Our Fixed-Value Projects come with a comprehensive guarantee built directly into the engagement structure. Before any work begins, we collaborate with you to define a detailed Value Scorecard specifying the exact deliverables, measurable KPIs, and success criteria for every phase of the project. The total price is fixed and agreed upon upfront — there are no hidden fees, no surprise overruns, and no scope-creep billing. If we fail to deliver against the agreed-upon Value Scorecard, our compensation is proportionally reduced. This guarantee is not a marketing promise; it is a contractual commitment embedded in every Fixed-Value Project agreement. We are confident in our methodology, and we put our revenue behind that confidence.
