The Value Recovery Model
You Only Pay When the System Proves Its Value
A performance-based model designed for zero risk, absolute clarity, and enterprise trust. No payment until value is verified.
Zero risk Zero friction Zero guesswork Zero upfront cost
How It Works
The Value Recovery
Model in Four Steps
Step 01
The System Recovers Value
The Trust Stack exposes fraud, prevents loss, and verifies authenticity across your workflows.
Step 02
The Savings Are Verified
ACP confirms the exact amount of value recovered. No estimates. No assumptions. Just verified truth.
The Trust Stack recovers value. ACP confirms the exact amount — no estimates, no assumptions. You keep 95%. Protocol One takes 5%, divided into four equal parts.
Step 03
You Keep 95%
Protocol One takes only 5% of the recovered value. You retain 95% of every dollar the system recovers.
Step 04
The 5% Is Divided by 4
That 5% is split into four equal payments — making the cost microscopic and enterprise-friendly.
Pricing Structure
Two Phases. One Direction.
Start with zero risk. Scale with confidence.
Phase 1 — Performance Model
Pay After.
Not Before.
5% of savings ÷ 4
Your only cost — after verified value recovery
The Trust Stack recovers value. ACP verifies the exact amount. You keep 95%. Protocol One takes 5%, divided into four equal parts. Executives see this and instantly understand: they're dealing with the real deal.
No upfront cost
No subscription
No commitment
No risk
No payment until value verified
ACP-verified savings
Phase 2 — Annual Contract
Lock In After You
See the Value
$50K — $400K
Per year · Scale and integration depth dependent
Once you've experienced the system firsthand — once you've watched it recover real money, prevent real fraud, and deliver real certainty — you can lock in a fixed annual rate.
Fixed annual rate — no variable cost surprises
Full Trust Stack deployment across the enterprise
Multi-department and cross-system coverage
Enterprise SLA and priority support included
Ongoing ACP audit log access and reporting
Why This Model Works
Why Enterprises Choose
the Value Recovery Model
Zero Risk for the Buyer
No payment until the system has proven measurable value. The first dollar Protocol One earns is after you've already received 95% of your recovery.
Aligned Incentives
Protocol One only earns when you recover value. The system is structurally motivated to perform — not just to be adopted.
Zero Friction in the Decision
Executives don't need to justify a budget line item for something unproven. This model removes the decision barrier entirely.
Verified, Not Estimated
ACP confirms the exact amount of value recovered. No guesswork, no rounding up, no consultancy-style projections. Just verified truth.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions executives ask before activating the Trust Stack.
-
ACP maintains a complete command-level audit log of every action the system takes. When the system prevents a fraudulent transaction or blocks an unauthorized action, ACP records the event with a timestamp, the identity involved, and the calculated exposure value — creating an immutable, auditable record both parties can verify independently.
-
If the Trust Stack doesn't recover measurable value, Protocol One doesn't get paid. That's the model. This is why we begin with a controlled demonstration — to establish baseline exposure before activation, so both parties can measure performance against a verified starting point.
-
Phase 2 is entirely optional and initiated by the enterprise after experiencing Phase 1. Most enterprises choose to move to annual pricing after Day 90, once they've seen full-infrastructure performance. There's no pressure or deadline.
-
Annual pricing ranges from $50,000 to $400,000 per year depending on scale and integration depth. The final rate is determined during the transition conversation after Phase 1 completion.
-
Phase 2 contracts are annual. The standard term is 12 months with renewal options. Enterprise terms can be structured for multi-year commitments at adjusted rates.
