Outcome-based pricing

Outcome-based pricing is a model in which part or all of a fee depends on a measured result, agreed in advance, rather than on time spent or seats licensed.

Why it matters

It aligns the seller with the buyer only when the result is measured in a way both accept.

How Limerine uses the term

We use it where an outcome can be measured in the customer's own systems, and fixed prices elsewhere.
