The consequences of the service provider not meeting targets can vary according to the terms negotiated at the design stage. Typically, the outcome payer pays back the risk investor, but without any return, or with a certain percentage of the capital forfeited. Sometimes, payments are made on a sliding percentage scale. For instance, if 90 percent of the results are met, 85 percent of the working capital will be paid back by the outcome funder; if 80 percent of the results are met, only 70 percent of the capital will be paid back, and so on.
