Nobody plays harder when there's no scoreboard.
TryLine is the incentive scheme platform that turns every employee into a contributor to profitability — funded entirely by the surplus they help create. Zero downside to the business. No ceiling for your top performers.
THREE PILLARS. ONE TRYLINE. A SELF-FUNDING INCENTIVE POOL.
Hard work without a game plan is just expensive noise.
Most businesses are running professional teams without a scoreboard. Your top performers deliver — but they have no idea how their effort translates to reward. Your middle tier has no pull to lift. Your finance team is reverse-engineering bonuses every December from spreadsheets that should have been tracked all year.
HERE'S WHAT THAT ACTUALLY COSTS YOU
- — Your best people leave silently — to a competitor that made their ceiling self-determined.
- — Your middle tier never lifts — because there's no visible line to cross.
- — You manage performance through conversations, not through a system — so the same difficult talks happen on repeat.
- — Schemes that measure revenue alone create dangerous blind spots. Maintenance gets deferred. Receivables balloon. You score the try — but the team falls apart the following season.
The problem was never your people. It was the system they were playing in.
THE SOLUTION
TryLine. Where effort meets outcome — across every dimension that matters.
TryLine is built for business owners who want performance that compounds. It helps you design, run, and track incentive schemes that align what your people want with what your business needs — turning individual effort into collective output.
No spreadsheets. No ambiguity. No annual disappointment dressed in good intentions.
THE THESIS
The incentive pool doesn't come from your budget. It comes from crossing the Tryline.
You define the profit threshold — the Tryline your business needs to cross.
BELOW THE TRYLINE
No pool. No payout. No financial exposure for the business.
ABOVE THE TRYLINE
The surplus funds the incentive. Every contributor shares in the upside they helped create.
High performers have unlimited upside. You have zero downside.
The scheme pays for itself from growth that wouldn't have happened without it.
THE THREE PILLARS
Profitability. Cashflow. Sustainability. That's what's on the board.
Most incentive schemes measure revenue and stop there. TryLine measures the three pillars that determine whether a business actually thrives — and shows every team member exactly how their contribution scores.
01
Profitability.
The Power.
Revenue, margins, cost efficiency. The engine that creates the incentive pool. Without profitability, there's nothing to share.
02
Cashflow.
The Pace.
Profit on paper means nothing if the cash isn't there. Receivables, working capital, payment cycles. You can't pay bonuses with invoices.
03
Sustainability.
The Defence.
Customer retention. Asset maintenance. Compliance. ESG. Without sustainability KPIs, every incentive scheme eventually incentivises its own destruction.
WHY IT WORKS
Five reasons this changes how you run your business.
Cross the gain line immediately.
A clear line to cross and a clear reward for crossing it produces measurable output increases. Documented uplift in implementations: 20–40%. No restructure. No new headcount. Just a system that aligns effort with outcome.
Align your forwards and your backs.
Without incentives, your team optimises for personal comfort. With TryLine, financial ambition and strategic direction become the same thing. You stop pushing people uphill. You start channelling momentum that's already there.
Keep your best players on the pitch.
Top performers leave when they feel capped. TryLine tells high achievers: your ceiling is self-determined. Earn more by delivering more. That's not an incentive — that's a magnet.
Let peer pressure do the coaching.
When reward ties to results, mediocrity becomes visible. Peer accountability replaces management oversight — the only kind that scales across a growing team.
Get the live data your board is asking for.
Real-time intelligence on who's performing, where breakdowns are occurring, and where your business actually needs attention. Strategic insight, not year-end forensics.
HOW IT WORKS
Five phases. Twelve months of clarity. One Tryline to cross.
From blank page to live scheme — every step is built into the platform.
Set Your Field.
Register, define your profit threshold, upload your team via CSV. Live in under two hours.
Design the Game Plan.
Define 5–8 targeted KPIs per employee, weighted across the three pillars. AI-assisted suggestions guide the process. Supervisors review. Employees accept.
Monthly Scoring.
Finance enters the profit figure. Supervisors score KPIs against actuals. The system calculates weighted performance and refreshes every dashboard in real time.
Monthly Progress Reports.
Each employee receives a personalised report — KPI scores, performance trend, funding progress, estimated payout. Twelve months of meaningful conversations, not one awkward annual review.
Cross the Tryline.
Year-end. Transparent payout calculation. Export to payroll. Set up next season.
FOUNDING ACCESS
The app is in final development. Founding seats are limited.
We're inviting a select group of business owners to join as founding users — the people who get in first, shape the product, and lock in founder pricing before public launch. If you've been running performance on goodwill and gut feel instead of a system, TryLine was built for you.
