Pay-As-You-Save · Performance-Backed Cost Engineering

We’re paid only when you save.

No retainer. No upfront fee. No risk on your side. You hand us your top 5 highest-spend parts, we hand back a validated savings analysis — and we earn from a share of what we deliver, not a day before. A 30-min discovery call is the only thing standing between you and your first should-cost.

The roadmap

Four steps. Three weeks.

01 NDA & Alignment 2–3 DAYS Mutual NDA signed. Scope, parts, savings targets aligned. One 30-min kickoff call. 02 Secure Data Sharing 3–5 DAYS Drawings, 3D models, current pricing, volumes — via secure portal. Confidential. 03 Savings Analysis 2 WEEKS We build should-cost models for your 5 highest parts. Delivered in 2 wks. No commitment. 04 Engage at Scale FULL PORTFOLIO Validated savings in hand. Pick an engagement model. Expand. Savings start immediately.
Engagement models

Four ways to work together.

Pick what fits your situation. We default to performance-based — you only pay from realized savings.

Fixed Consulting

Customer pays

Flexible time-based engagement. Hourly, monthly, or project-based billing.

  • Scale up or down anytime
  • Sourcing, cost modeling, supplier work
  • Best for: control + speed

Performance-Based

Paid from realized savings

We get paid only from validated savings. Customer carries no fee until P&L impact.

  • Pay-for-performance, no risk
  • End-to-end execution included
  • Best for: zero-budget initiatives

Supplier-Funded

Supplier pays

CSC compensation embedded in supplier pricing. Pre-agreed commission baked into PO.

  • Zero-budget cost reduction
  • Supplier diversification + speed
  • Best for: rapid sourcing programs

Hybrid

Balanced risk-sharing

Upfront fee for resource mobilization + performance-based incentives.

  • Shared risk & reward
  • Resource commitment guaranteed
  • Best for: large strategic programs
