Outplacement economics
Pilot structure and commercial model, one click deeper.
For partner teams that need pricing, scorecards, and rollout mechanics for internal approval.
Pilot first
Most partners begin with one cohort and a 30-day pass/fail review before expanding seats.
This keeps procurement risk low while giving counselor teams enough workflow exposure to judge fit.
Pilot is for decision, not lock-in.

Partner models
Pilot Cohort
Custom pilot seats
Best for firms validating workflow and outcomes with one live executive cohort before broader rollout.
Program Core
Seat-based monthly model
Best for firms that run recurring transition cohorts and want predictable unit economics.
What is included
- +Participant seat provisioning and activation support
- +Cohort-level engagement visibility for counselor leaders
- +Signal monitoring and prep brief workflows for active search execution
- +Partner review cadence and day-30 scorecard
30-day decision scorecard
Activation rate
Percent of assigned participants who complete setup and create initial target company list.
Signal-driven actions
Count of outreach or follow-up actions triggered by real signal movement.
Prep readiness
Rate of interview conversations with prep brief reviewed beforehand.
Momentum markers
Early indicators such as first qualified outreach, first interview, or meaningful stage movement.
Commercial notes
Pilot pricing is structured to lower risk and make the first decision evidence-based, not theoretical.
Volume discounts are available for larger cohorts and longer program terms.
Seat allocations can be tuned across Active and Intelligence usage patterns.
Cohort sizing scenarios for procurement
25 seats - Single office pilot cohort
Validate activation quality and counselor workflow fit before expansion.
50 seats - Multi-team program cohort
Validate repeatability across counselor teams and participant segments.
100 seats - Regional rollout
Measure governance consistency and operating cadence at scale.
Final pricing depends on seat mix, term, and support model. These scenarios are for planning conversations and internal approvals.
Quantified current-model vs operating-layer outcomes
| Metric | Typical current range | Pilot target range |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly participant action consistency | 40-55% consistently active | 70-85% consistently active by day 30 |
| Prep reviewed before high-stakes meetings | 35-50% | 70-90% |
| Counselor context rebuild time per session | 20-30 minutes | 5-12 minutes |
| Stalled-participant detection latency | 7-14 days | 2-5 days |
Ranges are directional planning bands; calibrate with your baseline and governance model before launch.
Commercial examples by term and seat mix (illustrative)
| Cohort | Term | Seat mix | Monthly list estimate | Term estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 seats | 3-month pilot | 15 Active, 10 Intelligence | $3,485/mo list before volume discounts | $10,455 total list over 3 months before negotiated partner terms |
| 50 seats | 6-month program | 30 Active, 20 Intelligence | $6,950/mo list before volume discounts | $41,700 total list over 6 months before negotiated partner terms |
| 100 seats | 12-month rollout | 55 Active, 45 Intelligence | $13,240/mo list before volume discounts | $158,880 total list over 12 months before negotiated partner terms |
Illustrative calculations use published plan prices before partner discounts, term incentives, and negotiated service scope.

Short objection response
Worried this creates commitment pressure? It does not. Pilot is scoped as a decision gate with a documented clean-no exit path.
If the model looks viable, request a live partner walkthrough and define a pilot cohort with named success metrics.
Calibrated decision questions
Would it be unreasonable to use one 30-day cohort as the only decision gate before scaling?
What specific day-30 evidence would make expansion feel obvious to your committee?
Clean no path: if pilot criteria are not met at day 30, close without expansion commitment and retain the decision artifacts.
