Phase-Enforced Service Margin Analytics Tracker
An automated reporting dashboard and time-tracking add-on that forces users to categorize hours into specific project phases (scoping, delivery, rework). It exposes hidden, non-billable efforts to reveal true project profitability.
이것이 중요한 이유
Many professional service providers are flying blind when it comes to the actual profitability of their projects. Standard time tracking tools treat every hour spent on a client as identical, lumping core delivery work together with administrative follow-ups, initial proposal generation, and tedious post-delivery revisions. Because these different types of work aren't properly segmented, agency owners dramatically underprice complex clients, mistakenly believing their standard rates cover the heavy hidden costs of scope clarification and rework.

근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
Users strongly criticize basic time logging applications for masking the true cost of servicing clients. They note that lumping proposal generation and rework into generic billable hours obscures margin degradation. Founders acknowledge that separating administrative effort from core delivery is essential to stop underpricing new business.
