VALUE-ALIGNED SOFTWARE™ · VAS™

Keep the software ready. Apply KX Credits only to work you choose.

KalkuleX does not charge recurring licence fees or subscription costs simply to preserve access or grant it to additional staff. It is built around utility and value. KalkuleX shows the expected work output first, then lets you decide whether it creates value for you and your business. You may approve each item or set your own pre-approved KX Credit limit for routine work.

AN EASIER WAY TO IMAGINE IT

Why should you keep paying for software when you're not at your desk?

You do not keep paying for electricity to power a light when it is switched off and not being used. At KalkuleX, we see software the same way.

That is why we reimagined the commercial model. KalkuleX keeps the capability ready, while KX Credits power only the work you choose to run. The model aligns software directly with the value you choose to receive.

You remain in control of the approval experience: approve every estimate yourself, or set a maximum KX Credit amount for routine work to proceed automatically. Work above your chosen limit pauses for a fresh decision.

GOVERNANCE WITHOUT SEAT PRESSURE

Allow every person their own identity. Keep every decision attributable.

KalkuleX removes the ordinary per-seat pressure to share access. Each authorised person can work under their own identity, with the permissions, approvals and evidence connected to them.

A finance team works under individual identities. Their separate pathways pass through a central permission gateway into an audit trail reviewed by a human approver.

02 · SEPARATED AUTHORITYAccess and permission remain distinct.

TRANSPARENCY IS A CORE VALUE

Every KX Credit estimate follows the rule you choose.

This is not a blind deduction system. KalkuleX calculates the estimate from the rows and fields selected and shows it before processing. You can approve every item or save a maximum pre-approved amount; the system records which rule allowed each KX Credit transaction for later review and analysis.

YOU SEE IT. YOU DECIDE.No blind deductions.

User transparency is a core tenet of the KalkuleX philosophy. The estimate is visible before the work begins, and you remain in control.

Explore detailed row and field examplesSee why two tables with the same dimensions can require different KX Credits.
SAME ROW COUNT. DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

Not every Xero field has the same data weight.

A short code, date or status can contain very little information. A description, reference, address, tracking structure or detailed line collection can contain far more. Two outputs with the same number of rows and fields can therefore require different KX Credits.

QUERY ONLY WHAT CREATES VALUE.

A focused table can cost less than a complete data dump.

The KX Query system lets you restrict the companies, dates, records and Xero fields included in a result. Selecting only the fields needed for the decision reduces unnecessary processing and can reduce the KX Credit requirement.

The ranges illustrate how compact and information-rich Xero fields can change the KX Credit requirement for an otherwise similar table. These examples are planning guides only. KalkuleX evaluates the actual fields selected for each query and presents a tailored estimate for review before processing begins. Managed KX Ai work is estimated separately and any unused part of a KX Ai reservation is released.

SAAS COMPARED WITH VAS™
