Mode B · percent partnership

Trade Partnership

On jobs we help you get, we take a clear slice of net — typically 8–10% after direct costs and an agreed overhead % — not a cut of your whole company. Partnership tickets must be logged in the app.

Attributed jobs — not 10% of everything

Trade operators who want Knight Logics growth channels (site, GBP, leads, social, referrals we send) tied to attributable jobs — with a formula both sides can audit — instead of vague handshakes. Search Performance click bands and Growth Systems monthly fees stay on separate forms when those lanes are also active.

Who this is for

Partnership seats in the live network

Knight Group, Screen Team, and Roof Monsters already run owned front doors alongside partnership channels. New complementary trades join the same attribution pattern — QR → /ref/:partner → logged job → payout.

  1. FitWilling to log partnership tickets and costs in the job app; clear split between organic jobs and partnership jobs; capacity to fulfill attributed work; comfortable with signed B1/B2-style commercial language.
  2. Not a fitTeams that will not log jobs; buyers wanting automated Stripe % splitting on their merchant account in this phase; Instant Package self-serve for percent deals; verbal-only arrangements.
  3. Open recruiting seatsElectricians and painters are actively recruiting into the roster — see electrician lane and painter lane.

Two buckets + net formula

Your preexisting book of business stays yours. We only fee partnership jobs after the net formula — terms track Faith Works Option B proposals (B1 simple overhead % / B2 equipment-hours variants).

Customer paid
  − direct costs (materials, fuel for that job, subs, permits, job-specific repairs)

Our fee = 8–10% × Net

Overhead share typically capped at 30% of customer paid. If costs are not listed within 14 days, fallback fees in the signed form apply (e.g. 6% of customer paid on B1-style terms).

Why net, not gross

Aligned incentives on profitable jobs

A percentage of gross punishes high-material jobs. Pricing against net after direct costs and agreed overhead means we only get paid well when the job was profitable for you too — and we have no reason to push high-revenue, low-margin work just to inflate our fee.

Attribution

QR → /ref/:partner → logged job → payout

Partnership jobs are those sourced through channels named on the form: website and GBP paths we operate, outreach leads we send, social campaigns in scope, and referrals from our partner network.

  1. App requiredPartnership tickets + costs logged in the job app. Dispute path uses logged data — not memory.
  2. Referral windowReferrals from our original lead typically stay partnership for the period in the form (often 12 months).
  3. Not in this phaseAutomated Stripe % splitting on the client’s account; Instant Package checkout for % deals; claiming non-partnership jobs as attributed work.
Creating a referral QR code for partner attribution

Partnership economics leave artifacts

QR creation, checkout options, payout dashboards, and the Knight Command shell that hosts them — not a spreadsheet handshake.

Partnership tickets must live in the app

Net formulas only work when partnership jobs, direct costs, and referral windows are logged where both sides can audit them. Verbal “we’ll figure it out later” deals are out of scope.

  • Referral codes tie leads to partnership buckets
  • Cost lines due within 14 days or fallback fees apply
  • Partners see earned vs paid status in the dashboard

Referrals settle beside the same growth stack

Partnership attribution runs in the same operator shell as outreach, email, and social — so payouts are not a separate orphan spreadsheet.

  • Referral tab embeds live payout and attribution views
  • GBP and website paths we operate count when named on the form

Trade Partnership FAQs

Is Search Performance the same product?

No. Search Performance is GSC click-band monthly fees. Partnership % applies to attributed jobs from growth channels. Order forms keep lanes separate to avoid double billing.

Can we use 8% instead of 10%?

Commercial rate is negotiated on the signed form within the published 8–10% band for net on partnership jobs.

What if costs are late?

If costs are not listed within 14 days, fallback fees in the signed form apply (for example a % of customer paid on B1-style terms).

Do you take a cut of my whole company?

No. Your jobs stay 100% yours. We only fee partnership jobs after the net formula.

Is the app optional?

No for partnership attribution. Without logging, there is no auditable net.

How do Faith Works B1/B2 terms relate?

Public marketing tracks those Option B proposal patterns. Your signed form is the binding document.

Can this coexist with a monthly Growth Systems fee?

Yes when the order forms define which outcomes are covered by monthly ops versus % of net so the same job is not billed twice.

What counts as a direct cost versus overhead?

Direct costs are job-specific — materials, fuel for that job, subcontractors, permits, and job-specific repairs. Overhead is general cost of doing business applied as an agreed percentage. Exact line-item rules are in your signed form.

Who decides whether a job counts as partnership?

The order form names the qualifying channels — our website/GBP paths, outreach leads, in-scope social campaigns, and partner referrals. Jobs from your preexisting book stay yours unless the form says otherwise.
