What Is the Fish Model?

Since the Biblical story of Jonah being swallowed by a whale, it’s been clear that being stuck inside a fish is less than ideal. Similarly, many companies are “stuck in a fish” while transitioning to a subscription sales model. In this blog, you’ll learn about the SaaS fish model and discover strategies to navigate it successfully.

As a professional navigating the shift from traditional sales to a subscription-based model, you must focus on long-term planning and managing stakeholder expectations. Understand and prepare for the initial dip in financial performance, often illustrated by the “Fish Model.” By strategically positioning your company, you can achieve sustained growth and profitability in the subscription economy. The key to an effective transition lies in surviving this dip and thriving beyond it, which requires a thoughtful strategy and clear communication with your stakeholders.

Understanding the Fish Model

Over the years, industries like technology, software, industrial automation, and medical equipment have increasingly adopted the subscription sales model. Several key factors drive this shift:

• Your customers value the flexibility that subscriptions provide.
• Subscriptions offer you a consistent stream of recurring revenue.
• If you adopt subscriptions, you avoid falling behind your competitors.

Despite these advantages, many companies are hesitant to embrace the subscription model . The reason is simple: transitioning from capital asset transactions to a subscription framework requires adopting a new financial model.

This new financial landscape can be challenging for you as a leader. It means that your future economic performance will not mirror past successes and may initially appear worse. Explaining this financial downturn to shareholders and other stakeholders is a task no one looks forward to.

Having monitored the journey of numerous companies toward subscription selling, TSIA has identified clear patterns in financial trajectories. When mapping these patterns, they resembled a familiar shape—the “ fish model .” Today, this model is a concrete reality for many businesses operating with subscription models like yours.

The two lines that form the shape of a fish in the model represent your revenue and costs. Naturally, the difference between these two is your profit, depicted as the white space between the lines—the fish’s body.

Typically, your company starts on the left side of the fish, having built its business on a capital asset transaction model that has traditionally been quite profitable.

Now, if you’re considering offering subscriptions , your objective is to navigate to the right side of the fish. We refer to this process as “swallowing the fish.” Once your subscription model is fully operational, your SaaS company stands to gain significant benefits:

• Revenue growth will accelerate.
• Labor costs will be reduced.
• Efficiency will enhance as your operations shift toward a cloud-based model.
• Profits will eventually return.

However, the most challenging part of this journey is getting through the middle of the chart, transitioning from the left side of the fish to the right side. This phase involves crucial adjustments and careful management.

Navigating the Middle of the Fish Model

You’ll notice that revenue and costs diverge significantly in the middle section of the fish model. Costs increase while revenues decrease—but why does this happen?

Focusing on the revenue line, when your company shifts from up-front revenue recognition to recognizing multi-year subscriptions, your comparable revenue performance will inevitably dip. As your new subscription offerings cannibalize the old ones, these revenues may appear even worse.

Simultaneously, your company must invest to support the new subscription business. For success in a SaaS business, you must build teams for customer success and analytics, establish data centers, and more. These investments contribute to your rising costs.

So, you find yourself in the middle of a fish, where expenses are climbing, and comparable revenues and profits are falling. This segment of the fish represents a challenging phase and is not an ideal place to be stuck.

Essentially, the core issue depicted by the fish model revolves around expectations. Stakeholders are accustomed to sure profits, revenue, and costs and expect the company to maintain these levels. Any significant deviation from these levels can disrupt these expectations.

Swallowing the Fish

The transition the fish represents is only possible if your company was initially established as a cloud-based subscription business . The goal is to navigate the middle part of the fish as efficiently as possible, minimizing the gap between rising costs and falling revenues. You don’t want a fat fish, so keep this transition phase as lean as possible.

The key to successfully swallowing the fish lies in careful planning. You must know crucial tactical issues to prepare for a successful transition. These issues, commonly faced by many businesses, include adjustments your company must make as you shift to the subscription model and manage through this challenging phase.

Issue #1 – Compensating Your Sales Team

First, consider how you plan to compensate the team selling your subscriptions . You need to establish a compensation plan that effectively incentivizes the sales team and is sustainable for your bottom line.

Many companies run into trouble by offering huge incentives to encourage the sales team to prioritize the new subscription offers over the old capital asset offers. As you can imagine, significant incentives inflate costs. Increased costs, of course, mean a fatter fish.

Nevertheless, you need to consider how you will encourage your salespeople to embrace the new subscription model. If you don’t, the salespeople will likely stick to the old offers, which they now offer upfront compensation for.

As you switch to subscription sales, consider how you will get your sales team on board. For the transition to succeed, your salespeople must have a vested interest in subscription offers beyond the initial contract.

Issue #2 – Focusing on Subscription Renewals

Renewals are another major issue to consider when switching to a subscription model. The subscription business model is built on renewals, and customer churn rates determine whether a recurring revenue business succeeds or fails.

A subscription-based company with high churn will experience low growth, high costs, and a negative reputation in the marketplace. Conversely, a subscription-based company with high renewal rates will gain market share and experience growth .

Customer success is the team responsible for ensuring customers fully adopt the product. Adoption leads to renewals and reduces churn. Thus, adding a customer success team is imperative when moving to a subscription model.

Adding new personnel will increase costs and further bloat the fish, but the payoff should justify the investment. Once you get to the right side of the fish, the additional customer success personnel will help increase revenue.

By committing to a plan to develop a customer success team, the cost and revenue lines on the fish chart will cross again. Once revenue begins to outpace costs, you have successfully navigated into the fish’s tail.

Key Takeaways:

• Expect Initial Challenges: Transitioning to a subscription model often results in a temporary financial dip as initial costs rise and revenues appear to decline. This is a critical period where businesses must manage cash flow carefully and communicate clearly with stakeholders to set realistic expectations.
• Invest in Key Resources: As you navigate the middle of the fish, strategic investments in crucial areas such as customer success and analytics teams are essential. These resources not only support the operational shift but also play a pivotal role in enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing churn, which are fundamental to the success of the subscription model. ‍
• Plan for Long-term Success: The journey through the fish model requires meticulous planning and a clear focus on long-term gains. Companies should prepare for and prioritize actions that enhance subscription renewals and customer loyalty, as these elements will drive future revenue growth and stabilize the business once the initial transition challenges are overcome.

Need Help Swallowing the Fish? 

The trip through the SaaS fish model can be challenging, but it is ultimately worth it. When a company swallows the fish, it will be poised to reap the benefits of the subscription model and, more importantly, the benefits of renewals for years to come.

Overview of Fish SDLC Model

Prerequisite: Software Development Life Cycle

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It refers to the methods of developing quality software by clearly defining the processes involved in the development.  

SDLC is usually divided into several phases(stages) for developing software. One of the popular SDLC is the FISH Model. In the Fish Model, verification and validation are done parallelly at each phase by two different teams.  

Verification means “reviewing” a whole phase, and Validation means “testing” a whole phase. Except for the deployment and maintenance phases, those two processes are done by separate teams and then reports are generated, by the end of the phases.  

Note: Fish model is preferred for developing secure & supreme quality software. This SDLC is expensive in terms of cost & time since it involves verification as well as validation on almost all the phases and it is not suitable for small projects and projects that might need a requirement change in the middle of development. Apart from that, the Fish Model is easy to implement and all the documents are created one by one as the phases are completed. So, full documentation of the software being developed is at hand by the end.

The structure of the model looks like a skeleton of a fish and that’s why this SDLC is known as Fish Model.  

Phases of Fish Model:

Now, We will see the phases involved in the Fish Model. There are 7 phases in Fish Model and they are,  

• Requirements Gathering & Planning
• Development / Coding
• Maintenance

The below picture represents an overview of the FISH Model.

1. Requirements gathering and Planning: At first, a contract is signed between both parties (client & organization) to kickstart the project. Then the client’s expectation is thoroughly understood by a business analyst from the organization to prepare a Business Requirement Specifications(BRS) document.  

Once the requirements are gathered and reviewed; the following processes will be performed.  

• Planning of project execution.
• Choosing the software model for expressing software designs.
• Resource planning.
• Feasibility tests are conducted to evaluate the success ratio of delivering the proposed project. This is where whether to do or drop the proposed project decision is made.
• Risk identification of the project.
• Allocation of members for the project by the project manager.
• So, here’s where all the preparation part of proceeding with the project is done.

2. Analysis: In this phase, Software Requirement Specifications(SRS) document is prepared from the Business Requirement Specifications(BRS) document. Different members like business analysts, software architects, subject-matter experts & team leaders have a great role in preparing the SRS. After the document is prepared it is reviewed by a team and then it will be forwarded to the client for getting approval. Once the client approves the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document, the design phase BEGINS.  

3. Design: In this phase, the developers or technical architect(s) create a document called Design Document Specification (DDS) with the help of the SRS document analyzed in the previous phase.  

In this document; the prototype of the proposed project, rough designs, and the looks & workings of the software are designed as well as defined clearly. The designs are primarily categorized into two. They are,  

• High-Level Design (HLD): It consists of the basic outlook DESIGN of the software architecture
• Low-Level Design (LLD): LLD has in-depth designs of the overall software architecture.

Once the Design Document Specification is ready, a team will review it. Then it will be forwarded to the client and stakeholders (people involved in the project & its outcome). The DDS document usually has several approaches, the ideal one would be chosen and taken to the next phases.  

4. Development / Coding: In this phase, the actual development of the project takes place where developers start writing code as per the decided standards. That’s why it is also called as Coding phase. The codes are usually written as small chunks and then they are integrated into a whole.  

After the completion of coding, the codes will be compiled into the machine-readable language (0s1s) and then run to see if the software works as expected without showing errors. Developers are the main characters in this phase. Eventually, codes are documented as Source Code Documents (SDC).  After the compilation & running of the code, the code will be tested in several ways for different purposes.  

5. Testing: As the development phase is completed, the code gets tested. Developers test the small chunks(units) of code individually, this testing is known as unit testing. Then the code will be combined and tested to check whether the code works as a whole and renders the desired output. This test is known as integration testing.  

After the developers finish those tests, the code will be given to the testing team. They will do various tests and check if everything works as expected in Business Requirement Specifications (BRS). If they find anything unexpected or find errors, they will notify the developers to fix them within a specified time. After that, two more tests will be done i.e. Alpha Testing and Beta Testing .

6. Deployment: By this time, the software is completely developed & tested. The test results are reviewed by the stakeholders for the deployment. It is all set to roll out! In general, the client might perform a test before launching in this phase and that’s known as Release Testing.  

7. Maintenance: After releasing the software to the end-users, many issues might pop up. Those need to be fixed ASAP. If the issue is bigger, then a new feature might be updated in the software to bring the desired functionality. Thus, the phase of doing the needful after the deployment(launching) of the software is known as the Maintenance phase.

Disadvantages

Fish Model is one of the software development methodologies in which both the verification(Review) and Validation(Testing) would be done parallel by separate team in each phase of the model. The structure of this model looks like skeleton between two parllel lines looks like Fish. So named it as Fish Model. This model is an expensive and time-consuming model.

Fish Model verification and validation generates two different reports at the end of each phase. Because all the phases covered by two different teams except Deployment and Maintenance phases.

All phases of the software development life cycle used in fish model. The phases are associated by the verification and validation process to achieve the development of application are -

• Planning & Requirement Phase.
• Analysis Phase.
• Design Phase.
• Development or Implementation Phase.
• Testing Phase.
• Deployment Phase.
• Maintenance Phase.

Planning and Requirements Phase -

Planning is the first and foremost phase in SDLC. The senior members of the project like Manager, Delivery Manager, Domain Experts, Sales Managers etc involves in this phase. At the first step, the requirement idea and the inputs explains the overview of the estimates to everyone. Based on the inputs, the project execution approach, model used to develop the system would be decided. It also helps to do feasibility study economic and other operational aspects. In this, the overall project planning, resource planning, risk identification and overall project execution planning discussed and finalized. Risk identifying is generally done in this phase. A feasibility study is conducted on the Technical aspects which help to decide and describe the approach which could be followed to implement the project successfully with a low risk.

Requirement Gathering is the most important and first phase of SDLC. In this phase, business analyst and project manager participate in the meetings with client to gather the requirements.

• Client is the owner of the product and provides the information about what to build, who will use it or purpose of it to all the participants.
• Business analyst is the person who gathers the high level requirements from the client and document them in the form of business requirements
• Project Manager can located at onshore/offshore who is going to handle the project.

Business requirements are generally documented in Business Requirement Document (BRS). Note that the BRS document name may gets changed based on the naming conventions defined in the project and name varies from project to project.

Examples - Business Specification (BS), Customer Requirement Specification (CRS), etc, and many more.

Analysis Phase -

Once the requirements gathering phase completed, Business Analyst (BA) converts the business requirements into technical requirements with the help senior team members like SMEs (Subject-matter experts) and team leads. The technical requirements documented in a document called SRS (Software Requirement Specification) document. SRS consists of all the technical requirements for all system involved (that includes cross-applications if exists). SRS document should send for approval from the client or SMEs from client side to proceed with the next phases.

Note that SRS document name varies from project to project based on the naming standard defined. Examples - Requirement Specification Document (RSD), Project Specification Document (PSD), etc, and many more.

Design Phase -

Design phase turns the requirements from SRS into a design plan called the Design Document Specification (DDS). Developers takes the requirements from SRS and creates their rough designs, working models, specifies how the software works, how the new design looks, how the control flow from screen to screen etc,. Design phase also models the design that includes - architecture, user interface, platforms, programming, communications and security etc,. In another words, overall system architecture is designed by defining their functionality of each module that includes their interaction with cross-systems.

The Design Document Specifications that are two types based on their level of design. Those are -

• High-level Design (HLD) - HLD contains the high-level architecture changes or design changes. Senior developers or architects creates HLD.
• Low-level Design (LLD) - LLD constans very detailed level architecture or design changes. Senior developers or developers creates LLD.

These two documents contain only design and sometimes code as well. The architects usually provide more than one approach in a Design Document Specification. This DDS sent for review to all the stakeholders and the best approach would be selected based on the features such as robustness, budget and timing constraints.

Once the architecture is selected, the stakeholders would then propose the modules design, data flow diagrams etc.

Development or Implementation Phase -

Once the DDS gets approved, Development phase gets started. Developers start programming with the code by following organization coding standards. Once coding completed, the programmers uses the programming tools to compile and debug the programs to verify weather new code is working or not.

Developers from all levels in the team involves in this phase. The code is documented as Source Code Document (SCD). Developers has many responsibilities in this phase namely - coding and compilation of source code to make error free.

Testing Phase -

Once the coding completed, the code gets tested to check whether it is working as expected or not. The developer performs the initial testing that are unit testing (UT) and/or Application Integration Testing (AIT) before handover the code to the testing team. If everything is fine, code gets migrated to the testing environment. Testing team will perform the testing from that point. The various testings the testing team performs are - quality testing, system testing, acceptance testing and approval testing.

In this phase, testing team follows the BRS document to verify the new changes or working fine or not. If anything not working, testing team raises the defect and development team has to fix it before the specified time.

Testing team thoroughly tests for the defects by follwing the process defined in STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle) to make sure that each and every component or module is working fine.

• Alpha Testing - Alpha Testing is a type of testing that is performed to identify every possible issues or bugs before releasing the product to market. The focus of this testing is to stimulate end users with white box and black box testing. The aim is to proceed with the tasks that a typical user might perform. Alpha testing would be carried out in an environment such as lab and usually the testers are the internal employees of the Organization. In simple words, it is the testing that is known as Alpha because it is done early at the end of software development and done before the beta testing.
• Beta Testing - Beta Testing is performed by the actual users of the software application. It is considered as User Acceptance Testing. It is considered as the final test that is done before shipping a product to customers. Direct customer feedback is a big advantage of Beta Testing. This testing would help to test the product in customer's environment. Beta version of software would be released to a very less number of end-users of the product to get feedback on the quality of the product. Beta testing would reduce the product failure risk and would increase the product quality through customer validation. Ex: - Google Pay application.

Deployment Phase -

Once the software is fully tested and has no defects or errors, then the test results and articrafts gor reviewed by the client and provides approval for deployment. Once the software got deployed to production, then the new functionality available to the end-users who are currently using the system.

Deployement might be complex based on the system design if it is integrated with multiple systems.

Maintenance Phase –

Once the end-user starts using the newly deployed sofotware, there might be a possibility that the real-time issues starts coming up. The team has to fix these issues to avoid the loss in business if the issue has less priority or less impact. If the issue has high priority and has huge impact, client can take a decision to roll out or backout new changes and refine the functionalities as required. This process of taking care for the finished product is called as maintenance.

• Fish model is an SDLC model to develop software with maximum quality.
• Fish model is for more secured projects as well as it is more expensive.
• Verification (Quality Assurance (QA)) - It is a process-oriented to avoid defect and to enhance the development process, therefore design review is part of the verification. It done with no program execution.
• Validation (Quality Control (QC)) - It is product-oriented to gets the defect as well as enhances the product quality, therefore product testing is part of the validation. It done with program execution.
• This model has a parallel arrangement of quality assurance as well as quality control.
• This model creates two reports at the conclusion of every phase, one for verification as well as one for validation.
• Easy to implement.
• Full documentation for the application gets created.
• Used for the complex and secured projects.
• Delivers high quality product.
• Every phase of the model is tested by a separate team for correctness and completeness of the application.
• Costly development methodology.
• Not suitable for small projects.
• Time consuming model to develop the product.
• Failure in development would cause lot of damage and loss as it is an expensive model.
• Risks are not identified at the initial stage and they can't be prevented.
• Requirements can't be changed in the middle of the process.
