Profitability by Client Analyzer
Example session with this skill installed
Analyze these March clients: Alpha $10k revenue, 40 delivery hrs, 5 support hrs, $500 direct costs. Beta $12k revenue, 85 delivery hrs, 20 support hrs, $200 costs, 10 rework hrs. Use $60/hr cost.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the profitability by client
I have analyzed the profitability for Alpha and Beta based on a $60/hr blended labor rate. The analysis shows a significant margin disparity between your two largest accounts.
Profitability by Client Analysis
| Client | Revenue | Labor Cost (Est) | Direct Costs | Contribution | Margin | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha | $10,000 | $2,700 | $500 | $6,800 | 68% | Protect & Grow |
| Beta | $12,000 | $5,700 | $200 | $6,100 | 50.8% | Reprice/Rescope |
Note: Beta's labor cost includes 85 delivery hours and 10 rework hours. Support hours (20) are currently excluded from the gross contribution but represent a high operational burden.
1. Key Drivers of Profit and Loss
Alpha: Highly efficient. Low support overhead (5 hours) relative to revenue indicates a stabilized scope and clear client requirements.
*
Beta: Margin erosion is driven by high delivery effort and rework. The 10 hours of rework suggests process misalignment or poor initial requirements. The 20 support hours are an outlier, suggesting this client consumes 4x the management energy of Alpha for only 20% more revenue.
2. Priority Action Plan
| Client | Issue | Recommended Action | Expected Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta | High Rework | Audit the last two project briefs for clarity. | Reduce labor cost by ~10%. |
| Beta | Support Load | Implement a support ticket threshold or monthly meeting cap. | Free up 10+ hours of staff capacity. |
| Alpha | Efficiency | Identify if Alpha's workflows can be replicated for other accounts. | Scalable margin improvement. |
3. Internal Talking Points for Beta Review
- "We've noticed the volume of change requests and rework has increased by 15% this quarter."
- "To maintain our service quality, we need to align on a more structured approval process to minimize iterations."
- "Let’s review the current support tier to ensure it matches the actual volume of requests we are processing."
Next steps
- Review the specific causes of the 10 rework hours for Beta.
- Verify if the 20 support hours for Beta involve senior staff or junior resources.
- Schedule a scope alignment meeting with the Beta account manager.

About this skill
Service businesses often focus on top-line revenue while ignoring the hidden costs that erode actual margins. High-paying clients can become liabilities when scope creep, excessive support, and rework go unquantified. This skill identifies which clients are genuinely profitable and which are costing you money to serve.
What it does
- Profitability Register generates a detailed table comparing revenue against delivery effort, support hours, and direct costs.
- Cost-to-Serve Analysis identifies hidden margin drivers like rework, senior staff involvement, and payment friction.
- Client Segmentation groups accounts into action categories like "protect and grow" or "reprice and rescope."
- Action Planning provides a prioritized table of recommended changes to improve margins without damaging relationships.
- Communication Templates drafts client-safe talking points for renewals, scope resets, and pricing adjustments.
How it works
- Input Data Provide client names, revenue, hours (delivery/support), direct costs, and hourly cost rates.
- Standardization The agent normalizes the data across periods and flags missing values or weak assumptions.
- Calculation It calculates gross contribution and margins, applying confidence ratings where data is estimated.
- Strategic Review The agent delivers a management summary with specific internal and external next steps.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is designed for service-based models including agencies, consultancies, MSPs, and freelancers. It processes raw data from CSVs, manual notes, or reports from tools like Harvest, Toggl, or QuickBooks.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard prompts often treat revenue as a proxy for success or fail to account for the "soft" costs of support and rework. This skill uses a structured cost-to-serve methodology that ensures senior management time and payment delays are factored into the final margin.
Use cases
- Auditing a monthly retainer portfolio to prepare for annual renewals.
- Investigating why a high-revenue account feels like a heavy operational burden.
- Normalizing profitability across projects with different delivery teams and cost structures.
- Creating a data-backed case for rescoping a client who has experienced scope creep.
