02 / MAKE THE ECONOMICS VISIBLE

A stronger case for your client.
A new revenue stream for you.

Explore two separate business cases. The client model starts with an illustrative procurement programme; for other sectors, replace the assumptions and set spend savings to zero where they do not apply. These are not customer results, promised returns or Phoenix prices.

THE CLIENT’S BUSINESS CASE

What could the first year deliver?

Include software, model API usage, implementation, internal effort and annual advisory fees.

Illustrative economic ROI155%
Net economic benefit£37,250
Review hours released
375
Value of productive capacity
£11,250
Projected cash savings
£50,000
Combined economic benefit

Cash-only ROI

Cash-only break-even savings rate

Capacity value is not cash saved. Count savings only when delivered and finance-approved; avoid double-counting. This example assumes 12 months of benefits. Your rollout timing will change the result. No avoided-risk value is included.

YOUR PRACTICE’S BUSINESS CASE

Build a repeatable advisory service.

After direct delivery costs, including staff time and any technology costs your firm pays.

First-year services revenue£85,000
Estimated gross contribution£38,250
Implementation revenue
£40,000
Advisory revenue in year one
£45,000

Illustrative fees set by your firm. Contribution excludes sales costs, fixed overheads and tax; figures exclude VAT. No referral commission is assumed. The client’s cost model must include your fees.

The recurring engagement

Quarterly policy reviews, renewal preparation, exception resolution and benefits reporting keep your advice connected to decisions throughout the year.

How the estimates work

Capacity value = annual reviews × minutes saved ÷ 60 × hourly cost × productive-use percentage. Cash savings = eligible spend × realised savings percentage. Economic ROI = (capacity value + cash savings − programme cost) ÷ programme cost × 100. Cash-only ROI excludes capacity value. Break-even savings rate (%) = programme cost ÷ eligible spend × 100.

Partner revenue = clients × (implementation fee + monthly advisory fee × billed months). Gross contribution = revenue × delivery margin. Validate assumptions with a timed pilot and agreed baseline before presenting a proposal.

03 / BEST-PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION

The consulting is essential.
Make it part of the plan.

A reliable implementation needs agreed policies, clean evidence, clear ownership and people who use the results. Package that work into five accountable stages.

  1. 01

    Discover & baseline

    Partner + client sponsor. Select the use case, review volumes and costs. Agree scope and a benefits baseline.

    ACCEPTANCE

    Sponsor signs off success measures, owners and budget.

  2. 02

    Prepare the evidence

    Partner + client data owner. Reconcile sources, versions and duplicates; agree access and the AI connection with Phoenix.

    ACCEPTANCE

    Sample data reconciles; permissions and processing scope are approved.

  3. 03

    Configure the standard

    Partner + policy or legal owner. Build preferred positions, fallbacks, exceptions and escalation rules in the Policy Library.

    ACCEPTANCE

    Client approves the policy version and review responsibilities.

  4. 04

    Validate & adopt

    Partner + client reviewers + Phoenix. Test representative contracts, evidence links, missing data and review time. Train the team.

    ACCEPTANCE

    Agreed quality and time measures pass; users demonstrate the workflow.

  5. 05

    Operate & improve

    Partner + client service owner. Deliver a review cadence, action register, handover and benefits report.

    ACCEPTANCE

    Owners accept the service; finance validates realised benefits.

You own the engagement: methodology, advice and change management.

Phoenix provides the platform: technical scoping, configuration guidance and agreed support.

The client owns decisions: data permissions, policies, approvals and accepted actions.

04 / FIND YOUR PARTNER MODEL

Start where your practice fits.

Scope, enablement, support and commercial terms are agreed individually before delivery.

INTRODUCE

Affiliate / referral partner

Introduce a qualified client opportunity and help frame the problem. Agree eligibility, attribution, any referral fee and payment conditions in writing before introducing business under the programme.

DELIVER

Implementation partner

Lead discovery, policy design, onboarding and adoption. Agree a statement of work and the technical support your delivery needs.

GROW

Ongoing advisory partner

Provide retained review, policy maintenance and commercial improvement. Set a service cadence with measurable client outcomes.

DEVELOP

Sector development partner

Bring a real workflow, domain expertise and structured feedback. Help define and test the next sector use case, with scope, contributions, intellectual property and commercial arrangements agreed before work begins.

Build a service your firm can repeat.

Agree product walkthroughs, sample workflows, configuration guidance and technical support for your first engagement. Use your own professional methodology to create a service you can take to more clients. Training, joint marketing and any reusable sector templates are scoped with each partner; a formal accreditation scheme is not being announced.

BEFORE WE TALK

Your questions,
answered.

Do we need to be a technology consultancy?

No. Start with your professional expertise and a clear client problem. We agree the product familiarisation and technical responsibilities needed for your first engagement.

Can clients keep their approved AI?

Yes, where the connection is supported and approved for their deployment. Agree the provider, permissions, processing terms and usage costs during scoping. See integration availability

Does Phoenix replace professional advice?

No. Comparisons surface evidence for review. Qualified advisers and client owners interpret findings, accept exceptions and approve action. Phoenix does not guarantee legal compliance or commercial outcomes.

How are pricing, clients and responsibilities handled?

Agree software charges, your services, client ownership, confidentiality and support in the partner and client agreements. Application does not create a partnership or grant certification, exclusivity or a commission entitlement.

Is there a published affiliate commission?

Not yet. Apply to discuss a referral arrangement. Any rate, qualifying sale, attribution period, payment trigger and applicable restrictions must be agreed in writing. The calculators show professional services revenue and assume no affiliate income.

Can we help develop our sector?

Yes. We are seeking practitioner input across legal, criminal justice, accounting, property and sales. Choose “Sector development / design partner” in the form and describe one workflow you would like to improve. We will agree a focused discovery or pilot scope, availability and success measures. Explore sector opportunities

How do we start and prove the return?

Choose one client use case, a representative contract sample and a policy owner. Agree a timed baseline and success criteria, then use the pilot results to shape a costed rollout. Review security and access
