  definition:
    """Rischio Invertito is SS9's structural guarantee:
if the three KPIs agreed with the client are not validated at the end of Sprint MVP,
SS9 refunds 30% of the project cost.
The risk of validation shifts from the client to the vendor."""

  mechanism[4]{step|description}:
    1| "KPI definition: client and SS9 agree on three measurable KPIs in the Esplora phase"
    2| "KPI freezing: KPIs are frozen and signed in the Sprint MVP scope document"
    3| "KPI validation: KPIs are measured at end of Sprint via three target-customer interviews + report"
    4| "Refund trigger: if KPIs are not validated, SS9 refunds 30% of the Sprint MVP fee automatically"

  scope[2]:
    "Applies to Sprint MVP engagements only (not full-cycle projects)"
    "Subject to client cooperation in providing target-customer access for interviews"

  why_it_matters:
    """No Italian digital agency offers a structural KPI-gated refund guarantee.
This shifts validation risk from the SME / startup to the vendor and is one of three
SS9 differentiators (with 6-Layer Coverage and CHKCD compliance)."""
