Conservative lift per lever (revenue × clients × retention)

Business value modeled as revenue × clients × retention. Lift all three by the same %, and they multiply rather than add. A model to show the shape of the upside, not a promise.

How this is calculated

No hidden multipliers. Every figure below comes from an input you can see and change.

Reclaimed hrs / week = team × admin hrs × recover% = —
Reclaimed hrs / year = reclaimed/week × working weeks = —
Value reclaimed / year = reclaimed hrs/yr × hourly value = —
Added clients = floor(reclaimed hrs/week ÷ hrs to deliver one) = —
Added revenue / year = added clients × monthly rev × 12 = —
Cost of waiting = value reclaimed / year ÷ 12 = —
First-year value = value reclaimed + added revenue = —
Year-one investment = one-time build + (retainer × 12) = —
Net first year = first-year value − investment = —
ROI = first-year value ÷ investment = —
Payback = investment ÷ (first-year value ÷ 12), rounded up = —
