From the practice · Outcome Record 008The pilot became the business.A loss-leader pilot. A funded, ongoing relationship. −$85K+Projected loss $6M+Five-year
contracted value
What changed

A subsidized pilot.

The company was subsidizing a pilot to grow its transactional business. The capability had value, but the arrangement left the provider carrying the cost without a sustainable commercial model.

A need for continuity.

Before committing more, the owner asked North of 80 for an independent examination. The work connected the pilot’s economics with the customer’s need for continuity through an approaching ownership transaction. The opportunity was an ongoing platform relationship, not simply more of the pilot.

A funded relationship.

North of 80 helped shape a five-year agreement with clear responsibilities, delivery commitments and funding. It secured more than $6M in contracted value. The customer gained continuity, the provider a stronger commercial position, and the outcome held through the ownership transaction.

The capability was already there.
The arrangement made more of it.
