This entry is part of the Mohgix Doctrinal Deconstruction. Read the original manifesto here.
The billable hour creates a structural conflict between client and consultant. Learn why Mohgix rejects time-based billing in favor of value-based outcomes.
The billable hour is the most pervasive and poisonous model in the professional services industry. It is the engine of the supplicant vendor and the direct cause of client mistrust.
We reject it. This is not a pricing strategy; it is a non-negotiable ethical stance that dictates our entire relationship with The Council.
The billable hour is a Game of Scale tactic. It is a commodity transaction that creates an immediate adversarial relationship.
It Rewards Inefficiency: A bad consultant who takes 100 hours to deliver a failed strategy is rewarded. An expert Architect who solves a $10 million problem in one hour is punished. The model incentivizes activity, not outcomes.
It Creates Conflict: The moment you sign, you and the consultant are on opposite sides. They profit from taking more time; you profit from them taking less. You are forced to become a manager, auditing timesheets instead of driving strategy.
We do not sell time. We do not sell deliverables. We architect outcomes.
Our model is a Value-Based Partnership. This aligns incentives perfectly. When we agree on the value of the outcome, we are both incentivized to achieve it in the most efficient, high-impact way possible.
Risk Transfer: In the billable hour model, you bear the risk. If the hours produce no value, you still pay. In our model, we bear the risk. We guarantee that our system (the CVP™) will produce the outcome.
The Assertive Expert: We are not on the clock. We are on the problem. This is the posture of a Strategic Partner. You are investing in a Capital Asset, not a cost centre.
Stop paying for time. Start investing in results.
