From Service Delivery to Performance Accountability
 

For decades, the consulting and service industries have relied on input-based billing models — where clients pay for time, tools, or access. But in today’s world of rising scrutiny and shrinking patience, one question now defines value:

“What result did this actually deliver?”

Enter Results as a Service (RaaS) — a modern, outcome-based model where clients pay not for hours spent, but for outcomes achieved.

At Maldicore, we believe RaaS isn’t just a pricing strategy. It’s a mindset shift. One that could reshape the future of governance, entrepreneurship, and advisory in nations like the Maldives.

What is Results as a Service (RaaS)?
 

Results as a Service (RaaS) is a service model where the provider is compensated based on predefined, measurable outcomes — not just the effort or resources they invest.

Think of it as a strategic partnership where both parties share accountability for success.

Examples of RaaS in Action

• B2B Marketing:
  Agencies offering lead-generation services only get paid for verified qualified leads, not ad spend.
• Recruitment:
  Talent firms charging based on successful hires who stay 90+ days, instead of just sending CVs.
• SaaS Platforms:
  Tools that charge per improvement outcome (like uptime or conversion rates) rather than per user.
• Healthcare RaaS:
  In Rwanda and India, telehealth providers are being paid by governments for diagnosis accuracy and treatment access rates, not just software licenses.

Why RaaS Matters Now
 

• Budgets are tightening across governments and companies.
• Trust in traditional consulting is eroding due to unclear ROI.
• Digital systems now allow better tracking of performance and KPIs.
• Clients want skin in the game, not just service delivery.

How RaaS Applies in the Maldives
 

As a small yet ambitious nation, the Maldives can become a regional leader in outcome-based partnerships. Here's how:

1. Public-Private Projects with Smart Outcome Tiers

Tourism Development:
Instead of paying firms for promotional campaigns, structure contracts where payment is tied to actual visitor growth, booking volumes, or visitor stay length.

Smart Islands Infrastructure:
Engage tech providers for energy grids, IoT sensors, or digital governance platforms — and pay based on uptime, citizen usage, or resource savings.

Healthcare & Education RaaS:
Partner with telemedicine and edtech companies, compensating them based on accessibility metrics, learning improvements, or reduced referrals to capital islands.

2. Startups & SME Support Programs

Shift from upfront funding to milestone-based grants or revenue-linked investments.

Example:

• A fintech startup receives funds in tranches, only after demonstrating user onboarding, KYC completions, or payment success rates.

This approach:

• Reduces public sector risk
• Forces startups to focus on real traction
• Attracts more serious, execution-focused founders

3. Maldicore’s Role in Leading the RaaS Model

As a strategic firm focused on embedded, measurable transformation, Maldicore is:

• Designing RaaS frameworks for public sector contracts and investment programs
• Offering its own services via outcome-based billing, such as:
  • Brand infusion billed by employee alignment scores or market share shifts
  • Digital transformation billed by operational KPIs (e.g., time savings, automation rates)
  • Market entry strategy billed based on leads, partnerships, or revenue wins
• Consulting governments and international donors on structuring performance-based projects, especially in digital infrastructure, sustainability, and innovation

Benefits of Results as a Service
 

“In a small economy like the Maldives, waste is not an option. Results must lead. RaaS ensures every dollar moves the nation forward.”
— Yusuf A. Shunan, Founder, Maldicore

Beyond Advice. Toward Accountability.
 

RaaS is more than a contract model — it’s a promise.

A promise that strategy must move from boardroom ideas to real-world impact.
A promise that success is not declared — it's earned, measured, and shared.

As the Maldives builds its digital economy, reforms governance, and empowers private sector growth, Results as a Service can ensure that transformation is not just promised, but delivered.

At Maldicore, we’re not just ready for RaaS — we’re leading the way.
