iii Partners Pricing and Engagement Model

iii Partners prices from a fixed published menu, quoted within one business day, and is never paid by the hour — fees are tied to the improvement the business achieves, not to time or software delivered.

Core Pricing Principles

• Fixed price, not hourly. Hourly billing makes iii Partners a contractor and caps value at headcount. Every engagement is priced from a published menu.
• Quoted within one business day. No extended proposal cycles.
• Paid for the outcome. Fees are connected to the measured improvement in profitability, not to software licences, seats, or hours.

How Discounts Work

iii Partners does not discount for relationship or negotiation. A discount is only ever exchanged for one of two things:

• Performance share — a portion of the measured improvement
• Equity — deal-specific terms handled privately

If a budget constraint exists, the response is to reduce scope and hold the price — not to reduce the price and deliver less value per pound spent.

Alignment Terms

Where terms apply, iii Partners accepts alignment tied to the improvement:

• Performance fees connected to the before-and-after baseline
• Equity or ownership terms in select deals

The outcome is public and documented. Equity and performance terms are internal and handled privately with each counterparty.

What Is Never Charged For

• Software licences as a standalone sale
• Hourly consulting or open-ended retainers
• Recommendations without implementation accountability
• Deployments that have not been validated by a diagnostic

Engagement Sequence and Cost Exposure

Cost exposure is sequenced to risk:

1. Twenty-minute conversation — no cost 2. Diagnostic — fixed, short, risk-reversed 3. Deployment — only if diagnostic confirms the lift; fixed price from the published menu

Clients are never committed to a large engagement before the diagnostic has confirmed it is warranted.

Discuss Pricing

Pricing is specific to the business and scope identified in the diagnostic. To get a quote, begin with the initial conversation: [cal.com/iii/iii-partners-demo](https://cal.com/iii/iii-partners-demo) or scott@iii.partners.
