Agency-as-a-Service

More responsibility. Greater alignment.

Agency-as-a-Service enables ATRI to take broader responsibility across engineering and the product lifecycle — with commercial terms that can align our participation with the outcomes we help create.

Beyond executing the scope. Taking responsibility for more of the execution.

A Different Engagement Model
From completing the work to taking broader responsibility.

In a conventional engineering engagement, responsibility is typically defined by a scope of work, requirement or deliverable. Agency-as-a-Service expands ATRI’s responsibility across the engineering and product lifecycle activities required to achieve the agreed product outcome.

Traditional Engagement
Responsibility around the scope.
  • Customer defines the work or requirement.
  • ATRI executes the agreed scope.
  • Success is primarily measured against the deliverable.
Agency-as-a-Service
Responsibility around the outcome we can influence.
  • Customer and ATRI define the objective.
  • ATRI takes broader responsibility for engineering and lifecycle execution.
  • ATRI can bring together the capabilities required as the product evolves.
  • Commercial terms can create greater alignment around the resulting outcome.
The 3AS Model
Accountability × Alignment
Accountability
Broader responsibility for execution.

ATRI can take responsibility across multiple engineering and lifecycle functions rather than limiting its role to an isolated deliverable.

Alignment
Participation aligned with the outcome.

Commercial terms can include an outcome-linked component, creating stronger alignment between the value ATRI helps create and how ATRI participates.

Clear Responsibilities
You own the market. We own more of the execution.

3AS expands ATRI’s responsibility across engineering and the product lifecycle. The customer continues to own commercialization and the business.

Customer
Owns the market and the business
  • Commercial strategy
  • Brand & positioning
  • Pricing
  • Marketing & sales
  • Sales channels
  • Revenue generation
  • Business operations
ATRI
Takes broader responsibility across engineering and lifecycle execution
  • Engineering & product development
  • Systems integration
  • Validation & product assurance
  • Reliability & compliance
  • Manufacturing management
  • Supply chain & logistics
  • Deployment & customer support
  • Continuous improvement
  • Lifecycle management

The actual responsibilities depend on the product and the agreed engagement — ATRI does not necessarily perform every listed function in every 3AS engagement.

One Company. Connected Capabilities.
The capabilities required can change. The responsibility doesn’t have to stop at the original SOW.

A product challenge can begin in engineering and later involve reliability, compliance, manufacturing, software, supply chain or support. Under 3AS, ATRI can bring together the capabilities required across the product lifecycle as those needs emerge.

Engineering
Engineer the product or solution.
Centers of Excellence
Bring specialized technical depth where required.
Lifecycle Services
Help make the product viable, reliable and successful in the real world.
Product Platforms
Use ATRI-developed technology where it can accelerate or strengthen the solution.

Not every 3AS engagement uses all four capability families or all nine Centers of Excellence — ATRI assembles what the particular product or problem requires.

Aligned Economics
Commercial terms that can align our participation with the outcome.

3AS commercial terms can combine conventional compensation for ATRI’s work with a component linked to the outcome ATRI helps create. The specific structure depends on the opportunity, responsibilities and relationship.

Outcome-linked participation does not transfer responsibility for commercialization to ATRI. The customer remains responsible for bringing the product to market and operating the business.

The Right Fit
For the right product. The right problem. The right relationship.

Agency-as-a-Service is designed for selected opportunities where broader ATRI responsibility can materially influence the product outcome and where both organizations benefit from deeper alignment.

From Concept to Reality

A product opportunity exists, but the organization needs broader engineering and lifecycle capability to execute it.

From Engineering to Deployment

Technology exists, but significant work remains to make the product reliable, compliant, manufacturable, deployable and supportable.

Cross-Functional Product Challenge

A product problem spans multiple areas such as engineering, reliability, manufacturing, software, supply chain or customer support.

Long-Term Product Evolution

The product requires continuing engineering and lifecycle responsibility rather than a sequence of isolated projects.

How ATRI Engages
3AS is a deeper relationship — not a fourth service category.

SOLVE, BUILD and SCALE describe ways customers engage ATRI for engineering work. Agency-as-a-Service changes the depth of responsibility and alignment ATRI can take across the relationship.

3AS can deepen responsibility and alignment where appropriate.
