About your firm

Two questions, used only to size the numbers.

Question 1 of 7

Your Yield Integrity Score

0/ 100
Indicative annual yield leak
Benchmark-derived estimate, not a guaranteed saving. Based on your revenue band and your score.
How this figure is calculated

The assumptions, stated plainly. Your revenue band is converted to a single mid-point before the arithmetic runs, so a firm at the top of a band is understated and one at the bottom overstated. The recovery factors are Rule Four's own draft assumptions, not a published benchmark, and they are under review. Treat the figure as an order of magnitude and a prompt — not a forecast.

Where it's leaking

Weakest first. Each bar is your score in that bucket as a percentage of the maximum available.

Benchmarks cited from SPI Research PS Maturity Benchmark (billable utilisation ~66%, project margin ~38%, revenue leakage ~4.5%), The Wow Company BenchPress, and Alto Accounting (UK agency margins 10–20%, utilisation targets 70–75%). Figures are indicative and, where agency-sourced, directional rather than definitive for pure-consulting firms.
