Engagements

Clear scope.
Fixed diagnostic pricing.

The diagnostic is fixed-fee and complete in itself. If the number it produces does not justify doing anything about it, that is a useful outcome and the engagement ends there. And it starts free: every engagement begins with a data review, at no charge, that tells you whether your records can support a defensible number before you owe us anything.

The three engagements

Tier 2 · The subscription

Capacity

From $900/mo
Ongoing · $900 for 3–5 CSRs, $1,500 for 6–10

The staffing model, running continuously against your call records.

  • Half-hour capacity model, refit every month
  • The minimum-cost roster meeting your service target
  • The roster where the next CSR-hour stops paying for itself
  • Marginal margin per CSR-hour, ranked by interval
  • Drift alerts when demand moves away from the schedule
  • Caller patience refitted from your own callers each month
  • Quarterly review against the diagnostic baseline
Discuss scope
Tier 3 · Optional

Rollout

$12,000
60–90 days · or from $4,000/mo

We implement the prescription instead of handing it over.

  • Schedule rebuilt against measured interval demand
  • Call-handling framework and stage instrumentation
  • Abandoned-call recovery process
  • Reporting the operation can run without us
  • Re-measurement against the diagnostic baseline
Discuss scope

Fees are 50% on signature, 50% on delivery. The diagnostic fee is credited in full against your first year of Capacity, so the measurement costs nothing if you keep running it. Diagnostic pricing reflects current engagement count and rises as the cross-client benchmark dataset grows. If the seven data-quality gates cannot support a defensible figure, you receive a readiness report naming exactly what to start capturing, at no charge, and no number is published. That check runs on the data review, the free step before any engagement begins.

The deliverable

What the diagnostic actually hands you.

A written report, twelve to sixteen pages. It is built to survive being forwarded to someone with a finance background and read sceptically.

01

The number

One page. The range, the most-likely value, monthly and annualized, in both revenue and contribution margin. Nothing else on the page.

02

Reconciliation waterfall

Total inbound demand through answered, through booked, into the three loss buckets, closing against the gap.

03

Capacity analysis

Occupancy by day of week and half hour, your abandonment curve with fitted caller patience, and the interval-level staffing gap.

04

Conversion analysis

Stage funnel, per-rep variance with the mix normalization shown rather than asserted, and the specific stages carrying the loss.

05

Turnover analysis

Separations in the window, fully loaded cost per separation, and the recruiting-versus-ramp asymmetry called out on its own.

06

Sensitivity

Which assumptions drive the spread, ranked, in plain language.

07

Ranked remediation

Each fix with implementation cost, modeled monthly impact, payback period, a confidence rating, and what has to happen first.

08

What we could not measure

An honest limitations page. It is the page most likely to earn your trust.

09

Methodology appendix

Formulas, fitted parameters, and every assumption with its source classification.

What we need from you

Five exports and about an hour of someone's time.

We send an export checklist written for your specific phone system and field-service software. Most of it is a saved report you already have.

From the phone system

Call detail records

Start time, direction, source, queue wait, talk and hold time, agent, disposition, abandonment flag, and a caller identifier. Caller numbers are hashed the moment they arrive and the raw values are never stored.

From field service / CRM

Bookings and jobs

Booking records with the originating call id, job type, quoted value, completed value and completion date. The call-to-job link is the piece most operations are missing; we check it before quoting.

From payroll or scheduling

CSR roster and schedule

Hire and termination dates, pay rate, FTE fraction, and shift schedule or timeclock actuals across the window.

From you

Two numbers and a conversation

Your contribution margin, and what you pay whoever recruits and coaches CSRs. Both go in the appendix marked as stated by you rather than measured.

The job that gets dispatched is the last step. We measure the first one.
If your data fails the quality gates, you receive a readiness report instead of a figure: what is missing, why it matters, and the specific settings to turn on. That is a real deliverable, and the conversation that follows it is usually a short one. We would rather tell you to come back in a quarter than sell you a number that will not survive scrutiny.
