Questions, answered.

Aurgus is rebate, billback, and incentive governance software for manufacturers and distributors — a deterministic, audit-defensible calculation engine and system of record for the channel-rebate, MDF, SPIF, and growth-incentive programs that flow through ASC 606 variable consideration. Every accrual is an immutable event on an append-only log with native lineage from the source transaction to the balance-sheet figure. AI sits on top of the engine as a grounded, source-cited, human-gated interface — never the calculator.

No. Aurgus (spelled with a “u”) is an independent company making rebate, billback, and incentive governance software for manufacturers and distributors — a deterministic calculation engine for channel rebates, chargebacks, MDF/co-op funds, and ASC 606 variable consideration. It has no affiliation with ARGUS commercial real-estate valuation software, or with any other organization named “Argus.” If you’re looking for real-estate valuation tools, we’re not it; if you’re reconciling rebates and trade programs, you’re in the right place.

No. Aurgus produces the numbers; it doesn’t build dashboards on numbers from other systems. Reports are queries into the calculation event log — every figure resolves to the events that produced it, and from there to the source row, condition record, and rule. There are no pre-built dashboards to wire.

No. Every consequential action — approve, settle, supersede, post — is human-approved. Aurgus Intelligence proposes recommendations with explicit confidence scores and source citations; a human decides. The agent stops at the calculation boundary and never edits engine events on its own.

No. The deterministic, event-sourced calculation engine owns the math and the lineage. The LLM is a replaceable component on top — used for natural-language composition, source-cited Q&A, and grounded explanation. Remove it and the engine still produces the same audit-defensible numbers.

Aurgus computes rebate math and writes the calculation event log. Your ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) posts journal entries per its own configuration. Aurgus pushes shell settlement documents — customer, material, condition type, amount, period — and the ERP determines the GL posting. No double-modeling of journal entries, no duplicate GL state.

Aurgus is the calculation engine and system of record for channel rebate programs at manufacturers and distributors. We model the math under your rebate program — every accrual, adjustment, supersession, and settlement — on an append-only event log that is audit-defensible by construction. Your ERP posts the journal entries per its own configuration.

Channel-finance and operations leaders — CFOs, Controllers, SVPs of Sales Operations, Channel Finance Heads — at $500M–$5B B2B manufacturers and distributors running complex channel rebate and incentive programs — in spreadsheets today, or on an incumbent rebate platform. In-scope verticals: enterprise software, semiconductor, networking, storage, electronic components, manufacturing.

Sub-$500M revenue businesses; pharmaceutical rebate programs (Medicaid Drug Rebate regime); retail trade-spend; food and beverage CPG; consumer-goods promotional. Different operational shapes; specialized vendors serve those better.

Monosij Bagchi — Founder and Subject Matter Expert. Twenty-plus years of SAP SD/Order-to-Cash experience across global consultancies and the category’s leading software vendor, serving Fortune 500 distributors and manufacturers. See /about for the practitioner-corpus articulation.

Platform fee keyed to your annual rebate volume managed. Five-tier structure. No per-seat, FUE, per-agreement, per-module, perpetual-license, or per-row pricing. See /pricing for the full methodology and tier breakdown.

The methodology is open; the specific engagement number is established in conversation. The same rebate program at $50M annual volume vs $500M annual volume is a different engagement. Posting a single price would over-charge the smaller customer and under-deliver to the larger.

No self-serve signup. Evaluation begins with a discovery conversation — thirty minutes with a Subject Matter Expert to scope the program and decide fit. Find where margin is leaking.

Annual contract structured around engagement scope. Onboarding, parallel-run against incumbent, cutover, ongoing operational support — all in scope. We don't sell services attached to the platform fee.

Yes. Currently engaging the design-partner cohort — Tier 5 equivalent with reference rights, co-roadmap input, and parallel-run guarantee. Speak with an Expert to learn whether the cohort is still open.

Every accrual, adjustment, reversal, and settlement is an immutable event with full calculation lineage. Corrections happen by supersession — a new event replaces the old — never overwrite. Quarter-end reproducibility is a property of the data model, not of process discipline.

Aurgus computes rebate math. Your ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) posts journal entries per its own configuration. We push shell settlement documents — customer, material, condition type, amount, period — and your ERP determines the GL posting. No double-modeling of journal entries, no integration gymnastics.

Six canonical bucket patterns in v1: volume flat, volume tiered (linear and retroactive), growth incentive, SPIF per unit, MDF (Market Development Funds), cooperative marketing. Pattern coverage expands based on design-partner requirements.

CSV import/export universally. Aurgus integrates with SAP and other ERPs via standard interfaces; specific ERP integrations are delivered within engagement scope. We don't ask you to migrate ERPs, and we make no SAP-certified claim.

Yes — REST API available within the engagement scope. SDK and webhook patterns for high-volume integration patterns. Documentation is engagement-gated, not public.

No. Aurgus's revenue is the platform fee. We never train models on customer data, never resell anonymized aggregates, never build benchmarking products downstream. The trust commitment is structural to how the company is funded.

Yes. Per-tenant database isolation. Enterprise tier adds per-tenant data planes with customer-managed encryption keys. See the Privacy Policy for the full data-handling commitments.

US-region cloud infrastructure on AWS. Enterprise tier supports specific geographic restrictions as part of engagement scope.

SOC 2 Type 2 attestation is in progress, available at Enterprise tier and above. ASC 606 variable-consideration alignment is a design property of the platform, not a compliance checkbox.

Engagement includes parallel-run against your incumbent through the full cutover period. We model your existing condition records and pricing procedures into Aurgus primitives, run both systems in parallel, validate output for parity, then cutover when calculation accuracy is verified.

Typically 90 days for the parallel-run + cutover cycle. Specific timeline depends on program complexity and integration scope, established at engagement.

Founder-led discovery. Named onboarding lead. Technical account manager at Tier 4 and above. Customer-direct support — we don't sell through resellers or services partners.

Yes — at design-partner phase, every engagement has founder involvement in discovery and architecture-fit assessment. As the company scales, the founder remains involved in Tier 4 and Tier 5 (Strategic) engagements.
