Zendesk bills $1.50 per verified resolution, Agentforce $2.00, Intercom Fin $0.99, HubSpot $0.50. The spread shows nobody's sure what outcome pricing sustains at margin yet, but every major abandoned seat- and deflection-based billing simultaneously. When four competitors reprice on the same axis in one quarter, the unit of value officially changed from access to outcomes. Zendesk's architecture reveals the catch: credible outcome pricing forces an audit layer, a second AI adjudicating the first. You can't bill on resolutions without a model verifying them.
