Charge for results, not tokens

Compose a result from ordered steps, price each step with its own calculator, and set the margin once on the finished outcome.

A result worth charging for

An outcome is a named result made of ordered steps. Each step carries its own calculator and base price, those base prices sum, and a margin sits on top. That gives you one price per result with the model costs underneath it accounted for.

Compose a result from ordered steps

An outcome is a named result made of ordered steps. Give it an agent key, add the steps the agent works through, and that sequence becomes the thing you bill for.

Price each step with its own calculator

Every step carries its own calculator and its own base price, so a step on a cheap model and a step on a frontier model are costed separately. The step prices add up to the outcome's base price.

Bake margin into the outcome price

Set a margin once on the outcome and it applies to the summed base price of every step. Change a model underneath and the base price moves; the margin holds.

Outcome-based pricing is a value-led proposition

Usage-based pricing is a good indicator of adoption, but outcome-based pricing is a powerful lever for success and efficiency.

Buyers understand what they are paying for

A customer knows what a resolved ticket is worth to them. It's harder to attach value to a token count.

Your price survives a model change

When a model gets cheaper or you switch providers, your price holds, moving the margin in your favor.

Each step can use its own model

An outcome can run analysis on a cheap model and drafting on a frontier one. Each step is costed separately and rolls into a single base price.

It stacks with everything else

Outcomes sit alongside credits and units in the same plan. Charge per result where it makes sense and meter usage everywhere else.

Part of a bigger set of primitives

Outcomes are part of a bigger platform designed to make AI billing a breeze.

Credits and wallets

A prepaid balance that draws down against the signals you meter.

Charge for the work, not the tokens

Outcomes ship with Clocknext's other pricing primitives, ready to combine with wallets, credits, and units in a single plan.
