When it comes to pricing professional services, one of the most common sources of tension is the uncertainty around how much work will really be needed. Both sides try to anticipate future needs: the supplier sets a rate assuming a certain level of commitment, while the client negotiates based on expected volume. But when reality doesn’t match expectations, the relationship often ends in frustration and tough renegotiations.
The FlexAdjust pricing mechanism was designed to solve this problem once and for all — bringing transparency, fairness, and adaptability into every service contract.
A Story from Experience
A few years ago, I hired a lawyer for what I thought would be a quick assignment of 5 to 10 hours. The agreed rate was €250 per hour. But the case escalated quickly, and I ended up needing more than 100 hours of work. At that point, paying €250 per hour no longer felt right. We went through a long negotiation and finally agreed to reduce the rate going forward, with an automatic yearly adjustment depending on how much time I used. That system worked beautifully: I felt comfortable calling my lawyer whenever I needed help, knowing the rate would fairly reflect the volume of work.
This is exactly the kind of situation FlexAdjust is built for. Instead of renegotiating after the fact, the adjustment happens automatically, based on transparent rules.
The Intuitive Logic Behind FlexAdjust
We already see this principle in everyday life. If you buy one kilo of potatoes at the supermarket, you might pay €3 per kilo. Buy in bulk from a wholesaler, and the price drops to €2. Go directly to the farmer and purchase several tons, and the price may be just €1 per kilo. Volume-based pricing is not new — but what’s missing is transparency and consistency.
In traditional settings, suppliers estimate volumes in advance and set prices accordingly. If the client uses less, they may overpay. If they use more, they may feel unfairly charged. Either way, expectations diverge from reality, creating conflict.
FlexAdjust eliminates the guesswork. Instead of trying to profile clients or anticipate consumption, you simply publish a reference price, reference quantity, and a scale factor. From that, the actual price adjusts automatically depending on real usage. No hidden discounts, no renegotiations — just a clear and transparent mechanism.
Why FlexAdjust Matters
- Transparency: Prices and adjustment rules are published upfront. Everyone knows what to expect.
- Fairness: Small clients pay the reference price. Large clients benefit naturally from volume discounts.
- Adaptability: Whether a project stays small or suddenly grows, the pricing adapts without painful negotiations.
- Trust: By removing ambiguity, the client–supplier relationship stays collaborative rather than adversarial.
Beyond Potatoes and Lawyers
The beauty of FlexAdjust is its universality. It can be applied to consulting, legal services, design work, or even recurring technical support. Wherever there is uncertainty about future workload, FlexAdjust provides a simple, structured way to ensure fairness for both sides.
Instead of locking in rigid agreements or playing guessing games, both parties can focus on what really matters: doing the work well and building trust.
The Bottom Line
With FlexAdjust, you no longer need to stress about whether you’re overpaying as a client or underselling as a supplier. The system takes care of it for you, automatically and transparently.
It’s a small but powerful step towards a business world where fairness and collaboration are the default — not the exception.
