Market pressure and the operating floor remain outside recovered value.
03 / RecoveryWhat value is real enough to share?
Recovery, proven. Fees, earned.
Credalyst separates unavoidable contract-labor cost from attributable movement and charges only when recovered value survives verification.

A lower invoice is not proof of recovered value.
Census, market rates, staffing demand, and genuine coverage needs can all change agency spend. Recovery separates those forces before any movement can become a Credalyst claim.
Before-and-after support must survive the attribution review.
Insufficient evidence creates no customer value and no fee.
Turn spend movement into a defensible attribution record.
Every material line moves through evidence, classification, attribution, and verification before customer value exists.
- 01Intake
Preserve the spend evidence.
Agency invoices and supporting operating context enter a controlled recovery record.
Invoice · period · facility · source - 02Classification
Separate three kinds of movement.
Each material line is assigned to structural, recoverable, or unattributable based on available evidence.
Classification · rationale · reviewer - 03Attribution
Test against the structural floor.
Before-and-after movement is evaluated without crediting market or operating changes to Credalyst.
Baseline · comparison window · exclusions - 04Verification
Create value only after support holds.
Verified recovered savings establish the customer value and the fee. Estimates create neither.
Verified amount · approval · fee basis
The fee begins only after the evidence holds.
The recovery record keeps structural, attributable, and unknown movement visible through verification. Estimates create neither customer value nor a fee.

No retainer. No fee on estimates. Qualification begins with the evidence and ends with an honest answer about whether attribution can be supported.
