4-8 Hours Per Deal

Manual labor classification is tedious, repetitive, and pulls your team away from higher-value analysis.

Inconsistent Results

Different analysts classify the same roles differently. Lack of standardization creates quality variance.

Margin Blind Spots

Misclassified labor costs hide true gross margins and distort your valuation models.
