Vendor verification
Know what you paid for. Verify it was delivered. Pay only for what counts.
The buyer's dilemma
When you buy software or AI services on outcome terms, the vendor controls the measurement infrastructure. They define the metrics, run the reports, and tell you what was delivered.
Even when vendors act in good faith, there is an inherent conflict of interest in any vendor-controlled measurement. The buyer cannot independently verify without running parallel measurement — which costs time, creates its own discrepancies, and still doesn't produce a shared authoritative record.
Acretix provides a neutral infrastructure layer that neither party controls — producing the shared record that makes outcome deals work for buyers, not just vendors.
Buyers pay upfront or on milestones — without any mechanism to verify the vendor delivered
Vendor-provided reports use vendor-defined metrics from vendor-controlled systems
Disputes are slow, adversarial, and lack shared evidentiary standards
Outcome commitments in contracts have no operational enforcement mechanism
Neutral infrastructure. Independent measurement. Structured disputes.
Measurement from agreed sources
Outcome Measure connects to the source systems both parties agreed to in Deal Designer. Methodology and sources are documented before measurement begins.
Criteria you jointly agreed
Before the deal starts, both parties agree in Deal Designer on exactly what counts as delivered: the metric, the threshold, the inclusions and exclusions. There is no ambiguity to exploit later.
Structured dispute resolution
If you disagree with a determination, Outcome Verify provides a formal process: submit counter-evidence, follow the adjudication process, appeal if needed. Every step is documented.
Financial terms that reflect delivery
Outcome Settle executes the pricing formula against the verified count. Caps, floors, and clawbacks protect against overstatement. You only pay for what was independently verified.
From contract terms to verified payment
Co-define the outcome criteria
Before the contract is signed, both parties use Deal Designer to define what delivery means: the metric, the measurement source, what counts and what doesn't. The rules are in writing.
Measurement runs from agreed sources
Outcome Measure connects to the source systems both parties agreed to. Both parties receive the same count — the methodology and sources are fixed in the deal specification.
Verify what counts against the agreed rules
Outcome Verify applies the jointly agreed criteria. Every determination includes the evidence and reasoning. If you believe a result was miscounted, you have a defined process to challenge it.
Payment follows verified delivery
Outcome Settle executes the pricing formula against the verified count. Financial controls — caps, floors, holdbacks — are applied automatically. You receive a settlement statement with full lineage.
