Reading the table
- Fee excl Bonus = Retainer + Rev Share + Tools (billed monthly).
- Bonus = 15% of measured savings; we true-up quarterly using time-tracking & invoices.
- Rev share adjusts monthly by KPI score (1%/3%/5% ladder; 5% cap).
What the client gets back (quick ROI view)
- **Time savings value (year): ~ 85/hr).
- Client keeps ~85% of that; the 15% bonus (~$11,594) is paid only when realized and verified.
- Total annual fees incl bonus: ~$36,573
- ROI on time savings alone: ~2.1× (excludes any lift from added leads, faster collections, fewer errors, etc.)
Lead-lift upside (framework):
With 1,700 new leads added + outbound, the revenue upside depends on your conversion and average gross profit per job:Added Gross Profit ≈ Leads × Close Rate × Avg Gross Profit per Job Example knobs to try: - Close Rate: 1–5% (cold outbound construction range) - Avg Gross Profit / Job: $2,500 – $7,500 (adjust to your book)We’ll plug in your actuals and attribute uplift in the quarterly true-up.
Quarterly Audit & True-Up (how it works)
- Lock a baseline (trailing 3 months before engagement) for revenue, hours, chargebacks/waivers, and tool spend.
- Track weekly: dashboards, time entries, revenue, and savings events with evidence.
- Quarterly true-up:
- Recompute KPI score → final rev-share% (never above 5% cap)
- Compute verified savings → 15% bonus
- Reconcile any provisional vs actuals (+/– credit or charge)
This keeps incentives aligned and fees right-sized to results.
Notes & Options
- Want a fixed weekly setup? Use $230/week retainer + % rev-share + quarterly bonus as above.
- If monthly revenue is highly volatile, we can use quarterly averaging for the seasonality factor to smooth the retainer. title: “B.

Note
This page shows how the math works and a readable schedule. For live numbers, we maintain a spreadsheet with formulas and true-up inputs each quarter.
Inputs (you can tweak)
- Base Retainer:
$1,000 / month - Seasonality clamp:
0.75×to1.25× - Tools:
$150 / month - Revenue Share (baseline):
3% of monthly revenue - Revenue Share (stretch view):
5%(for planning comparison) - Bonus (budgeted):
15% × Estimated Annual Savings, allocated by seasonality
Formulas (plain English)
- Seasonal weight for a month =
month revenue ÷ annual revenue. - Retainer per month =
BaseRetainer × CLAMP( month revenue ÷ avg revenue, 0.75, 1.25 ). - Monthly baseline total =
Retainer + Tools + (3% × month revenue) + (BonusPool × seasonal weight). - Weekly baseline =
Monthly baseline ÷ 4.333(approx weeks/month). - Quarterly true-up =
(Actuals − Plan)over the last 3 months.
Spread across future months by seasonal weight, then divided by weeks to add/subtract on each weekly payment.

*Retainer is clamped between $750 and $1,250 per month.
Tip
If you want a stretch column at 5% revenue share for comparison, duplicate the table and use
5% × Forecast Revenuein that column.
Quarterly true-up example
- Inputs: Q1 actual revenue, tools receipts, realized savings, KPI results.
- Delta computed:
Quarter Delta = Actual − Plan. - Spread: Allocate delta across future months by seasonal weight.
- Weekly effect:
AdjWeekly = (Delta_for_month ÷ 4.333)added to each week in that month.
How we keep it fair
- Busy months carry more of any delta, slow months carry less.
- Weekly smoothing avoids spikes.
- We re-plan every quarter over an 18-month window so agreements stay aligned with results.
