Value-based compensation
Pay the people who make value happen — executives, implementation teams, and users — based on what was independently verified, not who made the assessment.
Three groups who create value. One infrastructure to pay them for it.
Value-based compensation works when the measurement is independent of the people deciding the pay. Acretix provides that layer for every role in the value chain.
Paid for the value they sponsor
Executives who champion and resource strategic initiatives — AI deployments, process transformations, vendor relationships — earn compensation tied to the verified value those initiatives produce. Not tenure. Not subjective assessments. Verified outcomes.
Paid for the value they make happen
The people who design, deploy, and operate initiatives that create value — consultants, engineers, project leads — are compensated based on independently verified outcomes. What actually shipped. What actually moved the needle. Measured from the system of record.
Paid for the value they drive
End users who adopt new tools, apply new workflows, and generate measurable improvements earn a stake in the value they create. Adoption bonuses, outcome shares, and performance rewards tied to verified usage and impact data.
The value creation credibility problem
Executives who drive transformative initiatives rarely share in the value those initiatives create. Implementation teams are paid for delivery, not results. Users who adopt and champion new tools — generating real, measurable improvements — receive nothing for it.
The missing piece is not motivation. It's measurement. Without an independent layer that can verify what was created, by whom, and when, every compensation claim becomes a negotiation — and the people closest to the value creation have the least leverage.
Acretix provides the infrastructure to define, measure, verify, and settle value-based compensation across all three tiers — with a shared evidentiary record that all parties trust.
Compensation tied to "performance" relies on internally-produced metrics that no one trusts
Executives sponsor initiatives without clear paths to personal value capture when they succeed
Implementation teams are paid for delivery, not for the value that delivery creates
Users who drive adoption and generate measurable outcomes are not rewarded for it
Disputes about whether a target was hit become HR and legal problems without a shared evidentiary record
Independent measurement. Transparent calculation. Trusted outcomes.
Criteria defined before the period begins
Deal Designer captures the outcome metric, measurement methodology, attribution rules, and compensation formula before the work starts. For executives, implementation teams, and users alike — the terms are agreed and documented upfront.
Independent measurement from operational data
Outcome Measure connects to the relevant systems — product data, operational records, business metrics. The measurement is independent of the people who decide compensation, making the number trustworthy for all parties.
Transparent calculation for every tier
Outcome Settle applies the compensation formula to the verified outcome count. Executives, implementation teams, and users each see exactly what was measured, what counted, and how their payment was calculated.
Audit trail that holds up
Every measurement, every determination, every compensation calculation is stored with full lineage. Disputes have a factual record. Compliance has an audit trail. The system shows its work.
From agreed criteria to verified compensation
Define who gets paid for what
Before the initiative launches, use Deal Designer to specify the value metric, measurement approach, attribution logic, and the compensation formula for each recipient tier — executives, implementation team, and users. Everyone sees the same agreed criteria.
Measure the value created
Outcome Measure connects to the operational data sources — the same systems used for running the business. It produces an independent, evidence-based record of what actually happened: outcomes delivered, adoption driven, value generated.
Verify what counts for each tier
Outcome Verify applies the agreed criteria to each measured result. For each recipient group, it produces a count/no-count determination with full reasoning. No black box — every determination is visible and traceable.
Calculate and distribute
Outcome Settle applies the compensation formula to each verified count and produces compensation statements for all tiers. The calculation is transparent, the lineage is complete, and every recipient can see exactly what drove their payment.
