A performance-based price you can defend

We are building Scopeful to turn a project brief into a grounded performance-based proposal: measured cost, quantified value, verified outcomes.

A real deal, anonymized. Built by hand today; Scopeful is the research to make it take an hour.

When an agency bills by the hour, the engineer who finishes early earns the company less.

“Nobody can price what nobody can predict.”

We measure. Everyone else estimates.

01

Brief in

An RFP or a rough description.

02

Measure and quantify

Scopeful will put AI coding agents on parts of the actual project and record the real hours: the same agents we train hundreds of developers on.

We quantify what the client gains in euros: revenue uplift, cost saved, time saved, risk reduced, checked against the client’s own data.

03

Proposal out

A grounded performance-based proposal. One Q&A round with the client fills the gaps.

The research target: four weeks of scoping compressed to under an hour of Scopeful’s own work.

A real deal, anonymized

Operations software for a logistics company, priced on results

Offer
Fixed fees cover the build. On top: 30% of verified savings, quarterly, for 12 months. At target, ~€45K a year.
Baseline
The metric and its starting level are certified in writing before go-live; savings are computed from the client’s own operating data.
Guardrails
Only results confirmed by the client’s own team count, and only while a paired quality metric holds its baseline.
Delay
Every month before go-live leaves ~€12K of savings unclaimed.
Team
The fee is a pool the delivery team shares. On hourly billing, finishing early means billing less; here it moves a metric with a price on it.

On revenue deals the same structure runs over a certified baseline; the client picks the risk balance between fixed fee and share (Koort, 2025). Where no outcome is measurable, the proposal says so and recommends fixed or hourly instead.

Founding agencies

Build it with us

Performance-based deals are 0.5% of agency contracts (SPI Research, 2025). Founding agencies change that with us: bring a live deal and we produce an independent proposal to put next to your own quote. You shape what gets built and use it first; deal data is shared under NDA, never attributable to you.
