Le principe, qui combine produitet service, est “win-win-win” pour le consommateur, l’entrepriseet l’environnement.

R : Outcome-Based Pricing ties payment to a measurable business result delivered to the customer, such as uptime, output or performance. The agreement needs an accepted baseline, measurement method and commercial response to different performance levels. It is not simply pricing by usage or adding a performance claim to a fixed equipment price.

R : Pay-per-Use charges for measured consumption, while Outcome-Based Pricing charges for a defined result. A customer can use equipment for many hours without achieving the intended output or uptime. Outcome pricing therefore requires the provider to accept more performance responsibility and to define which outcome drivers each party controls.

R : Choose an outcome the customer values, can measure credibly and the provider can materially influence through equipment, service and monitoring. Uptime, output and performance can work when the baseline and responsibilities are clear. Do not guarantee results that depend mainly on customer behaviour or processes outside the provider's control.

R : Performance bands translate measured results into defined commercial consequences. A target zone can carry the agreed price, a shortfall zone can trigger a credit, and an upside zone can support a bonus where appropriate. Bands reflect operational variability more effectively than one all-or-nothing threshold and make the risk easier to model.

R : Limit risk by defining baselines, measurement windows, responsibilities, exclusions, performance bands and caps before the contract is signed. Model downside exposure across the portfolio, not only for one deal. Where both parties influence the result, use shared-risk structures rather than making the provider accountable for every external variable.

R : The provider needs reliable outcome data, monitoring, escalation, service capacity and a cost-to-serve view that connects operational performance to contract economics. Sales and legal teams also need standard guardrails. Without those capabilities, the firm can sell a performance promise that it cannot monitor, manage or deliver profitably.
