Methodology

Count each cost once. Pay for the Owner’s work belongs in the cost of operating; it is separate from profit or withdrawals. Equipment replacement reserves are economic allowances, not current loan payments.

Divide a Resource’s annual economic cost by its practical productive time. Include preparation, cleaning, administration and downtime when estimating that time. A Service uses the cost of every Resource it occupies.

The economic floor covers modeled costs and revenue-dependent fees. The sustainable target also allows for your chosen operating margin. Margin is a share of selling price, not a markup on cost. Indirect tax is handled separately using your confirmed treatment.

Confidence describes how complete and well-supported your inputs are. It is not a probability of profit. Missing tax treatment withholds tax-inclusive prices; estimated costs and capacity lower confidence.

Formulas produce every financial result. Optional AI explains selected results or field guidance; it cannot set a price or change your saved Analysis. The Report works when AI is unavailable.
