Flexible deal models

Per-completion is the default. Not the ceiling.

Opsfolio's standard model is pay-per-verified-completion because it's the cleanest shared-risk arrangement we've found. But it isn't the only one we'll do. If you have a better way to share risk — pitch it. We mean it.

Open to other shared-risk models

Per-completion is our default. It is not your only option.

Creative agencies, AI-SDR shops, and outbound partners often want to de-risk differently. We're open to it — and we'd rather negotiate the shape of the deal than lose a great partner over a model mismatch.

Pilot

Try-before-you-buy pilot

Run a fixed-volume pilot at reduced or zero payout. Convert to standard terms once both sides see fit.

Subscription

Subscription / retainer

Flat monthly fee once you've proven repeatable volume — in place of per-completion payouts.

Hybrid

Hybrid retainer + per-completion

Smaller per-completion payout plus a monthly retainer for sustained, predictable pipeline.

Minimums

Guaranteed minimums

Opsfolio commits a quarterly floor if you hit an agreed volume of qualified ICP traffic.

Rev-share

Downstream revenue share

Share of Opsfolio platform revenue from organizations you originated — for partners playing the long game.

Your idea

Bring your own structure

None of these fit? Pitch us your own shared-risk model. We're genuinely open to creative deal shapes.

Same template. Your terms.

Whichever model you propose, start from our standard proposal template — then replace the Commercial terms section with your alternative shared-risk offer. Keeps intake consistent for us, leaves you fully free to counter-propose.

Model details

Who each model fits — and what each side gives up.

Shared-risk only works when both parties are honest about what they're trading. Here is what we're willing to give up under each structure, and what we'll expect in return.

Pilot

Try-before-you-buy pilot

Best fit
Partners new to Opsfolio, or testing a brand-new outbound motion / channel.
When to propose
Propose when you can't yet point to comparable results, or when you want a low-stakes way to prove a channel before locking in terms.
What Opsfolio gives up
Reduced or zero payout during pilot, looser verification scrutiny.
What you give up
Lower per-completion economics during the pilot window.
Subscription

Subscription / retainer

Best fit
Agencies with steady, predictable monthly volume across multiple clients.
When to propose
Propose after a pilot or first quarter where volume is repeatable and roughly bounded.
What Opsfolio gives up
Predictable monthly fee regardless of completion-count fluctuations.
What you give up
Per-completion upside on outlier high-volume months.
Hybrid

Hybrid retainer + per-completion

Best fit
Partners who want stability plus volume incentive — most mature agencies land here.
When to propose
Propose when you've proven volume but still want each completion to feel rewarded.
What Opsfolio gives up
Monthly retainer plus a per-completion bonus on every verified result.
What you give up
Lower headline per-completion rate vs pure-performance terms.
Minimums

Guaranteed minimums

Best fit
Partners confident they can hit a defined ICP-traffic target each quarter.
When to propose
Propose when forecasting is mature and you want to protect against verification timing variance.
What Opsfolio gives up
Floor payment guaranteed if agreed traffic-volume targets are met.
What you give up
Agreed reporting + traffic-volume commitments.
Rev-share

Downstream revenue share

Best fit
Partners with founder-led, long-cycle relationships into the ICP.
When to propose
Propose when your motion lands accounts that are likely to convert from assessment to full Opsfolio platform.
What Opsfolio gives up
Percentage share of downstream platform revenue from your originated orgs.
What you give up
Up-front per-completion economics in exchange for longer-term upside.
Your idea

Bring your own structure

Best fit
Anything we haven't listed.
When to propose
Propose any time. We'd rather hear a model that doesn't fit a template than lose a fit.
What Opsfolio gives up
Genuine review and counter-proposal — we want creative partners.
What you give up
A clear explanation of how risk is shared in both directions.
