The present invention compensates loss resulting from unexpected outcome of service or unanticipated product performance. A consumer is provided an option to purchase a warranty prior to or during product purchase or service engagement, the warranty offering pre-determined levels of award calculated from a probabilistic, multi-variable process. Each level of award is associated with a warranty purchase price and a degree of variation of actual outcome from expected outcome. For medical services, variables could include age and gender of the patient, skill level and history of the doctor, quality of the hospital, difficulty of the procedure, type of medical equipment used, prior condition of the patient, geographic location and patient profile. The warranty could require the physician to provide additional medical or surgical care, without charge, to optimize actual outcome prior to granting an award.
