    What every agreement actually earns.

    ConnectWise agreements joined to QuickBooks and to measured labor — margin per agreement, not per invoice. This is where the lost money hides.

    38%
    blended agreement margin (target 45%)
    $11,200/qtr
    lost to out-of-scope work + project overruns

    CPI uplift contractually allowed, never applied

    Where the money is leaking

    $4,300/qtr
    Out-of-scope work is being done for free.

    23 tickets last quarter were closed under managed agreements but sit outside their scope — server projects on desk agreements, after-hours dispatch on business-hours terms. ConnectWise never saw an invoice for any of it.

    $6,900
    One fixed-fee project ate its margin.

    The Crestview imaging migration closed 34 hours over estimate — absorbed silently. The overrun pattern is visible at hour 8, not hour 34, when someone is watching the burn.

    $1,150/mo
    CPI uplift exists in 6 agreements. Applied in 0.

    Six agreements carry an annual CPI adjustment clause nobody has ever exercised. Applying it at the next renewal cycle is contractual, not a negotiation.

    ≈ $9,100/mo
    The two heavy AYCE agreements predate the load.

    Beacon (2022 terms) and Harbor Point (2023 terms) together take 41% of desk hours at 8–12% margin. The measured load per agreement is the reprice case — attach it.

    Labor cost = measured hours × loaded rate, attributed per agreement from ticket + project time. License COGS from the Pax8 reconciliation. Margin is after both.
