Executive Summary

Network marketing and direct-sales companies running binary compensation plans suffer from highly complex leg-balancing rules, carryovers, caps and overrides that are routinely handled in error-prone spreadsheets; finance teams and independent reps spend hours reconciling payouts, face audit gaps and see delayed payments that erode trust. Because payouts are frequent and increasingly cross-border, manual processes create regulatory exposure and growing dissatisfaction among reps who expect faster access to earned commissions. You could build a SaaS product that encodes binary-plan logic in a deterministic rules engine with auditable ledgers, real-time dashboards and configurable plan templates, plus one-click integrations to API-first payment rails for near-instant per-rep payouts. Include pre-built connectors for CRMs, accounting systems and popular e-wallets so customers can replace spreadsheets with a cloud-auditable workflow quickly. This is a tangible opportunity: roughly 50,000 potential customers willing to pay about $20K ACV equals a $1.0B addressable market, and macro trends—near-instant payout expectations, migration off spreadsheets and better global payment rails—make buyers more receptive today (Market Score 82/100, Revenue Potential 85/100). You can differentiate by specializing in the unique edge cases of binary plans, delivering compliance and audit modules and turnkey payment integrations that general commission platforms lack, but be prepared for medium competition, multi-month sales cycles and non-trivial integration and regulatory work as the main execution challenges.
