The definition is the price
A vendor offering to be paid only if the number moves sounds like the fix for paying for hours. Whether it is depends on a definition most proposals leave out.

You know the number you need moved, whether it's AOV, retention, LTV or conversion, and you can measure it cleanly. What you can't find is a vendor willing to put its own fee on moving it. We will. We automate the workflows that move the number and take a defined share of the lift. That only works with clean measurement and trust on both sides.
If we think we can move a specific commercial number (AOV, retention, LTV, conversion, ARPU) and you measure it cleanly, we take a defined share of the uplift instead of most or all of our fee. Most firms will only work time-and-materials. We put our fee on the outcome.
We're picky about these. Some problems are too fuzzy to price on an outcome, and some measurement setups can't attribute the lift fairly. Typical fits: D2C personalization and pricing, gaming live-ops and monetization, marketplace matching and search, fintech underwriting and conversion. If we don't think we can move the number, we'll say so on the first call and point you to the AI Build Program.
When we do take one on, Patrick runs it personally, and every workflow we automate on Alexandria points at that one commercial objective. The measurement framework is in writing before work starts. Both sides have money riding on it.

What you get
Inclusions
- A defined share of measurable AI-driven revenue or savings, structured per engagement; terms on the discovery call
- Clear measurement framework agreed upfront: attribution, baseline, window
- Patrick on it personally, with every automated workflow aimed at one commercial objective
- Quarterly reporting against agreed metrics, open-book on the methodology
- Knowledge transfer, so what we built keeps earning after we leave
Commercial terms
Structured per engagement. Baseline fixed at scoping; revenue share runs for a defined measurement window (typically 12-24 months). Early termination and dispute terms agreed in writing before kickoff.
Fit
When this engagement is the right call
- You can cleanly measure the commercial metric we'd be moving
- You're in one of the typical fits above (our gaming live-ops work already runs in production)
- You want us to have skin in the game, with most or all of our fee riding on the number
- You're prepared to share the upside if we deliver it
