# How we earn together

Alexey Ananin and the Echelon Group · 1.2 · 2026-09-26

We bring technology, intelligence and our team’s work to your site. We develop an energy strategy, implement solutions and take part in operations.

We earn alongside you: our remuneration depends on verified financial results.

## How our share is determined
For each project, we agree on a percentage, a calculation method and the review period. We use verified financial benefit attributable to our work.

**Remuneration = agreed percentage × verified positive benefit.** If benefit is zero, this part of remuneration is zero. The agreement defines how negative periods are treated.

## Investment and costs
After assessing the site, we determine the work, required investment and financing source. The model accounts for equipment, contractors, maintenance, computing, financing, taxes and replacement. Reimbursement of additional costs requires prior agreement.

A joint project uses one allocation schedule for all participants. It shows what the client retains and prevents charging twice for the same result. Financing raised is not itself profit.

## What the agreement records
1. The benefit share and verification method.
2. The calculation period, payment dates and recipients.
3. Costs, financing and taxes.
4. Participants’ authority and the handover procedure.

In the calculation, α denotes our share, E verified benefit and F remuneration. The signed project terms define their values.

## Unpaid public programmes
Agreed public-mission work carries no remuneration. These assignments are documented separately from commercial work.
