OK, I gotta say that after many years of consulting, this is the first truly new, clever billing technique that I've seen. Better yet, it's a win for all sides.
This comes closer to per-project pricing from the client's perspective, which they prefer because they want to know how much they're paying. (As you put it, "deterministic pricing.")
I tend to time-slice my weeks, so I don't think that it would work for me. But it might well work for the people who work for me, who do tend to work complete weeks on projects.
I do have to wonder how Israeli companies would react to this sort of thing. My guess is that they'll do the math, and then complain about the high hourly rate.
But the only way to find out is to try, and you've definitely inspired me to give this system a whirl. Thanks so much for sharing.
