The Build/Run Collapse Is a Financial Problem — Not Just an IT Problem
When one team runs and builds simultaneously, 35-45% of IT labor capacity disappears into unplanned work. That's budget burning without ROI. We recover it structurally.
"Our IT team was spending 40% of their time putting out fires. Allari takes that work off their plate — permanently."
THE COST OF FIXED-FEE IT
TRADITIONAL MODEL — WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR
- ✕Fixed monthly retainer regardless of demand
- ✕Consultant-rate billing ($200–350/hr) for 15-minute tasks
- ✕No visibility into how hours are allocated
- ✕Vendor incentivized to extend engagements
- ✕Cost floor set by headcount, not by output
ALLARI MODEL — WHAT CHANGES
- Capped budget (NTE) with actual-spend billing
- FTE-parity run rates — no consultant markup
- Every task, hour, and dollar visible in real time via OpenBook™
- 15-minute sprint measurement incentivizes velocity, not duration
- Cost compresses as operations stabilize and automate

CAPPED-CONSUMPTION: BUDGET SAFETY + PAY ACTUALS
← Your maximum. Set it to sleep at night.
← They charge this whether they use it or not.
← You pay this. The difference comes back to you.
↑ 19% SAVINGS RETURNED — Verified at HellermannTyton (81% budget utilization)
Budget Cap (NTE)
Maximum spend is locked before engagement begins
Pay Actuals
You only pay for work consumed, measured in 15-minute increments
Savings Returned
Unused budget is returned to you, not absorbed by the vendor
SLAs with Financial Teeth
If we miss response targets, you don't pay. No 'best effort' clauses.
FTE-Parity Rates
No consultant markup. Run rates, not consulting fees.
COSTS GO DOWN, NOT UP
The Build/Run Separation — we draw a permanent line between operational work and strategic work. Your team owns the build. We own the run. That structural change is what makes deflationary economics possible.
Traditional IT vendors have no incentive to reduce your dependency on them. Our model is the opposite — systematically automating and hardening your operations, driving the True Cost of Ownership to its floor.
THE COMPRESSION CYCLE
IDENTIFY
Isolate functions consuming disproportionate budget
AUDIT
Separate essential operations from vendor-inflated complexity
HARDEN
Apply automation, codify runbooks, eliminate manual overhead
STABILIZE
Function now runs at minimum TCO at FTE-parity rates
Result: Year-over-year cost compression as operations mature — not year-over-year price increases.
RISK PROFILE
All runbooks, documentation, and operational knowledge are client-owned assets. You can walk away with your IP.
Capped-consumption model with NTE ceiling. You cannot exceed your budget cap. We absorb the risk.
100% ticket closure rate with zero re-opened tickets (verified at Site HT-2025). Structure enabled it.
90-day mobilization to full operational capacity. Follow-the-sun coverage ensures zero gaps.
We do not harvest client data to train public models. Operational intelligence remains a client asset.
THE 30-SECOND BOARD SUMMARY
We replace fixed-fee IT vendor relationships with a consumption-based execution model that:
- Compresses IT operational costs by 19% in Year 1 (verified)
- Recovers 30–40% of internal team capacity for strategic work
- Provides real-time financial transparency into every dollar spent
- Guarantees response times with financial penalties for misses
- Returns unused budget to the client — not the vendor
The model has been validated across 62 Fortune 500 engagements over 27 years. We are self-funded, profitable, and have operated continuously since 1999 with zero external capital.
THE DEFLATIONARY COST MODEL IN CONTEXT
Our capped-consumption model operates across all five stages of the JDE lifecycle — from advisory through post-go-live. Cost compresses as each stage stabilizes operations, creating a deflationary trajectory that fixed-fee vendors cannot match.
