## Revenue Capabilities
- Enterprise pricing and packaging architecture (active-control-plane): Package assessment, synthetic pilot, protected diligence room, implementation blueprint, and enterprise operating license as separate value steps. Margin: Improves price realization by preventing custom enterprise work from being bundled into low-margin pilots. Gate: Qualified commercial, legal, and finance review before external price commitments or buyer-specific discount promises. Next: Attach each opportunity to one approved package, price floor, deliverable boundary, and upgrade path before proposal release.
- Deal desk and quote-to-contract control (human-review-required): Move qualified opportunities from sales discovery into counsel-reviewable order form, SOW, data boundary, and implementation assumptions. Margin: Reduces margin leakage from uncontrolled custom terms, scope creep, weak payment terms, and unapproved concessions. Gate: Human executive approval, qualified counsel review, finance review, and customer sign-off required before contract execution. Next: Create a quote-to-contract packet with package, scope, pricing, discount rationale, billing terms, data boundary, and approval trail.
- Annual prepay and multi-year enterprise commitments (qualified-review-required): Use annual prepay and multi-year optionality for qualified enterprise pilots and operating licenses after scope and renewal gates are clear. Margin: Improves cash conversion, lowers collection risk, and creates implementation runway without claiming guaranteed savings. Gate: Finance, accounting, tax, and legal review before payment-term, revenue-recognition, or renewal language leaves SCRIMED. Next: Prepare payment term menu with finance-approved cash, recognition, refund, cancellation, and renewal assumptions.
- Protected buyer diligence monetization (human-review-required): Convert high-effort diligence, proof packets, security review, and evidence-room packaging into an explicit paid diligence or enterprise activation line item. Margin: Prevents expensive evidence packaging from becoming unpaid sales labor while reinforcing trust posture. Gate: AAL2 protected workspace, release decisions, reviewer signoffs, and customer permission before buyer-specific external sharing. Next: Price buyer-diligence packaging separately when procurement, security, legal, or investor review requires custom packet work.
- Implementation services and blueprint attach (active-control-plane): Attach implementation blueprint, workflow design, governance design, and integration-readiness planning to pilots before production scope. Margin: Separates high-touch services from license economics and makes labor assumptions visible before commitments expand. Gate: SOW, staffing, deliverables, timeline, data boundary, and implementation acceptance criteria must be approved before delivery. Next: Template the implementation blueprint as a paid, capped-scope service with clear assumptions and change-order triggers.
- Renewal and expansion discipline (active-control-plane): Tie renewal and expansion to buyer-approved evidence, adopted workflows, governance completion, and implementation milestones. Margin: Improves net retention while avoiding unsupported ROI, reimbursement, or customer-revenue claims. Gate: Buyer finance methodology, customer permission, and legal review before any external customer-value claim. Next: Create a renewal health packet with adoption, workflow volume, support load, model cost, reviewed value signals, and next expansion gate.
- Channel and partner economics (qualified-review-required): Model reseller, referral, integration, and implementation partner economics before SCRIMED enters margin-sharing agreements. Margin: Prevents channel discounts, partner delivery cost, tax complexity, and indemnity terms from eroding enterprise margins. Gate: Qualified counsel, finance, tax, privacy, security, and regional review before partner or reseller terms are represented externally. Next: Maintain a partner economics worksheet with referral fee, reseller margin, implementation owner, data role, liability, and tax-review state.
- Usage-based value aligned to model cost (active-control-plane): Tie high-volume packages to workflow count, reviewer volume, proof-packet output, and model-routing cost assumptions. Margin: Keeps AI unit cost, infrastructure, support, and reviewer labor aligned with price bands and overage policy. Gate: Finance review of cost model, support tier, model-route assumptions, and overage language before proposal release. Next: Add unit-cost review to every high-volume proposal and require approval when projected gross margin falls below threshold.
- Public-sector and sovereign procurement readiness (qualified-review-required): Create readiness-only procurement packs for jurisdiction-specific buying paths, security questionnaires, data residency, and external approval gates. Margin: Prevents under-scoped public-sector pursuits from consuming enterprise resources without a realistic procurement and compliance path. Gate: Qualified public-sector procurement, regional legal, privacy, security, tax, and compliance review before pursuing binding commitments. Next: Score every public-sector opportunity against approval complexity, security burden, payment timing, implementation effort, and strategic value.
