The ADLIUS Zero-Risk Partnership Promise
It means you never pay for empty promises.
Your investment is protected: no results, no risk, no regrets.
You’re Not Gambling on Us.
We’re Betting on You.
Too many consultants charge premium fees, drop a few slide decks,
then vanish the second things get hard.
That’s not how we roll.
We built the ADLIUS Zero-Risk Partnership Promise to flip the consulting script so you never have to worry about wasting your money on advice that doesn’t deliver.
This isn’t a vague promise.
It’s a legally enforceable agreement that protects your time, your money, and your business outcomes.
We want to keep it simple:
If we don’t deliver on our promise, you don’t pay.
Why Do We Offer This?
Because we don’t sell consulting.
We sell business growth.
We’re paid to make that happen.
So if it doesn’t?
Then, we don’t deserve your money.
Our guarantee is our part of our values:
The ADLIUS Zero-Risk Partnership Promise
Here's everything that's included in our Promise
Phase 1 - Decoding Demand
Your Goal: Understand why your product or service offering is under-performing.
Our Promise: 100% Money-Back Guarantee
If you’re not completely confident in the insights and direction we deliver in Phase 1, and we can’t fix it, you can walk away. We’ll refund every penny.
Details: Exact service outlined, with expected deliverables will be negotiated in a Statement of Work prior to beginning work.
Phase 2 - Solution Blueprint
Your Goal: Rebuild your offer to align with what customers actually want.
Our Promise: 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
You will walk away with a customer-aligned solution you can use to grow your business.
If the solution is not clear, feasible, and validated according to the process we agreed on, we keep working with you, at no additional cost, until it is.
Details: Exact service outlined, with expected deliverables will be negotiated in a Statement of Work prior to beginning work.
Phase 3 - Realize Results
Your Goal: Execute the growth plan and get results.
Our Promise: Results Guaranteed
Before Phase 3 begins, we agree on measurable targets.
If we do not hit them under the circumstances we agreed, we keep working at no additional cost until we do.
You are never paying for empty promises.
You are only ever paying for outcomes.
This is written into the contract. You hold the receipts. You call the shots.
Phase 3 Pay-for-Performance model:
Base Activation Fee: This is a non-refundable portion of our work. Our base fee covers the essentials: our team’s time, tools, and infrastructure. It’s how we show up, stay engaged, and fight for your business.
But the real payoff? That’s only on the table when you win. We don’t earn extra unless your revenue climbs. Period.
Performance Fee: A percentage of the growth we create.
Revenue growth above a jointly agreed baseline, over a jointly agreed period of time
Verified Monthly or Quarterly: We agree on data access and verification methods before we start. No surprises. Full transparency.
Equity
If we believe in your long-term potential, we invest our time, expertise, and resources for real ownership.
This is the deepest level of partnership we offer, reserved for founders who want to dominate their market. When you engage Adlius on an equity plan, we put even more skin in the game.
Equity plans require due dilligence on your company prior to finalizing an agreement.
When Fixed-Fee Phase 3 Work Makes Sense
Most growth work in Phase 3 is handled through performance or equity, because those models align both sides around measurable outcomes.
However, fixed-fee implementation is still the right fit in specific situations.
You may choose a fixed-fee Phase 3 engagement when the project has:
• A nonprofit or government context
• A clearly defined, tightly scoped implementation
• Outcomes that cannot be measured through direct revenue impact
Our Guarantee Attached to Every Engagement
We attach a copy of the specific guarantee to each Statement of Work so you’re contractually protected. If this guarantee is updated during your project, the version attached to your Statement of Work will prevail.
