Distinguish paid hours, productive hours and billable hours.
Use a common workload when comparing a retainer, employee or subcontractor.
Keep owner compensation, profit allowance and cash outlay on separate stated bases.
Start with the example, replace the assumptions with your measurements, then change one input to see its effect. Save or export the scenario if you need to keep its basis.
