You know what you billed. Do you know what you kept?
We find the jobs, products, and services that quietly lose money inside your healthy-looking totals — quantified in dollars, with a plan to fix pricing first.
Free. Built mostly from information you already have. If it shows you nothing new, throw it away.
Busy every day — and still not sure it's worth it?
The custom shop
A few jobs every year ship below true cost. They net out against the winners at year-end, so nobody ever sees them by name.
The service business
One service line and one chair carry the whole schedule. The rest look busy — and earn almost nothing.
The product seller
Prices were set when materials were cheaper. Every order since has quietly given margin away.
Different businesses, same blindness: revenue is visible, profit per unit is not.
How the Margin Check works
Step 1 — Margin Check (free)
One page from one report you already have. Where your money concentrates, what's underpriced, and one number you didn't know.
Step 2 — Pricing Reset (flat project)
True profit on every job, product, or service by name. Prices re-based to today's costs. The below-cost work surfaces. Changes what you charge tomorrow.
Step 3 — Margin Watch (monthly)
Every month: what moved, what's leaking, what to reprice next — on one page. Cancel anytime.

Software: $300–3,000/month, months of setup, and someone still has to read it.
Fractional CFO: $5,000+/month, priced for companies far bigger than yours.
Ops Pulse: a fraction of either. Your pricing department, part-time. Built in the tools you already own — no new software, no new habits.
