Process Automation Pricing Model

A Process Automation Pricing Model is a pricing model that is used to create workflow-based pricing systems (that support process completion pricing tasks).

• AKA: Workflow-Based Pricing Model, Process Completion Pricing Model, Multi-Step Outcome Pricing Model, Task Chain Pricing Model.
• Context:
  • It can typically charge Customers based on completed workflows rather than individual actions.
  • It can typically define Value Units as end-to-end processes with defined outcomes.
  • It can typically balance Consumption Factors with outcome achievement in price determination.
  • It can typically support Workflow Standardization through process-aligned pricing.
  • It can typically enable Process Value Quantification via workflow outcome measurement.
  • ...
  • It can often include Process Complexity Factors in price calculations.
  • It can often differentiate between Standard Workflow Pricing and Custom Workflow Pricing.
  • It can often support Multiple Process Types with different price points.
  • It can often require Process Mapping to define billable workflows.
  • It can often face Commoditization Risk for standard workflows while maintaining value premiums for complex workflows.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Process Automation Pricing Model to being a Complex Process Automation Pricing Model, depending on its workflow complexity level.
  • It can range from being a Standard Process Automation Pricing Model to being a Custom Process Automation Pricing Model, depending on its workflow customization degree.
  • It can range from being a Department-Level Process Automation Pricing Model to being an Enterprise-Level Process Automation Pricing Model, depending on its organizational scope.
  • ...
  • It can bridge Consumption-Based Pricing and Outcome-Based Pricing approaches.
  • It can align with Business Process Improvement initiatives.
  • It can support Digital Transformation through process automation monetization.
  • It can facilitate Value Communication by focusing on complete business processes.
  • It can enable ROI Calculation based on end-to-end efficiency gains.

• Examples:
  • Industry-Specific Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
    • AI Agent Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
      • AI Sales Process Automation Pricing Model for lead-to-close workflow billing.
      • AI Customer Support Process Automation Pricing Model for ticket resolution workflow pricing.
      • AI Document Processing Automation Pricing Model for document workflow completion payment.
    • RPA Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
      • Financial Process Automation Pricing Model for account reconciliation workflow.
      • HR Process Automation Pricing Model for employee onboarding workflow.
      • Supply Chain Process Automation Pricing Model for order-to-delivery workflow.
    • Business Service Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
      • Legal Process Automation Pricing Model for contract review workflow.
      • Accounting Process Automation Pricing Model for financial reporting workflow.
      • Marketing Process Automation Pricing Model for campaign execution workflow.
  • Workflow Type-Based Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
    • Administrative Process Automation Pricing Model for back-office task completion.
    • Customer-Facing Process Automation Pricing Model for front-office workflow execution.
    • Analytical Process Automation Pricing Model for data processing workflow completion.
  • Outcome Type-Based Process Automation Pricing Models, such as:
    • Document Processing Automation Pricing Model for document workflow completion.
    • Decision Automation Pricing Model for decision process execution.
    • Data Processing Automation Pricing Model for data workflow completion.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Usage-Based Subscription Pricing Models, which charge for individual actions rather than complete workflows.
  • Fixed Pricing Models, which provide access rights regardless of process execution.
  • Value-Based Pricing Models, which focus solely on business outcomes without process-specific measurement.
  • Time-Based Pricing Models, which bill for service duration rather than workflow completion.
  • Feature-Based Pricing Models, which charge for functionality access rather than process execution.
