Command Center
Five steps, in this order. The first one happens together.
Every implementation is done by hand, one step at a time, and you are guided through it. It's not a sign-up form — it's a call.
We enter your client book together.
Forty-five minutes. Your retainers, what they bring in, your fixed expenses. You leave with at least one thing about your business you didn't know that morning.
Insight computes the four numbers.
Concentration, effective hourly rate, renewal exposure, monthly net. They already existed in your business — scattered across three systems and two heads.
Insight tells you what deserves your attention.
Not a dashboard you have to remember to open. An advisor that reads today's levels and tells you which ones matter right now and why.
$4,500 of retainers renew in the next 90 days. That conversation goes better this month than next.
Fable Commerce is 22% of MRR against a 25% ceiling — close enough that I am watching it. If Marek & Co. goes, Fable moves to 25.1% and crosses the ceiling.
You test a decision before you make it.
A hire, a price increase, a client you turn down. The scenario runs on your real numbers, not on an end-of-day hunch.
Every time you open it, the picture is rebuilt.
The brief, rebuilt from scratch every time you open it: where each number stands today. Insight reads levels, never crossings — it says what is true now.
What you already do, and what it doesn't tell you.
None of these options is bad. None of them tells you, in a single read, which client is turning into a problem.
| Insight | The spreadsheet | Accounting software | A fractional CFO | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tells you what matters right now | The moment you open it | Only if you go look | Silent | Once a month |
| Concentration, effective rate, renewals side by side | Always | If you build it yourself | Not built for it | Yes |
| Scenarios on your real numbers | Hire, price, client turned down | Fragile after the second copy | No | Yes, on request |
| Always current | Every time you open it | Redone every month | Current, but silent | Not between visits |
| Setup | Done with you, 45 min | Your half-day | Your accountant | An engagement |
| What it costs | A monthly subscription, not an engagement | Your time, every month | A subscription | A recurring engagement |
Recurring retainers, and you still make the calls.
It's for you if
- You run an agency, a consulting firm, a studio or the like, with work that comes back.
- You know last month's number to the dollar, but not which client is turning into a problem.
- Financial decisions still go through you — the hire, the price, the client you turn down.
It's probably not for you if
- Your revenue comes from one-off sales rather than retainers.
- Someone already looks at these numbers every week.
- You have fewer than three clients — at that scale, you hold them all in your head.
It stays yours. Never used to train a model, never sold. Insight reads it to answer you, nothing else. Deleted on request, in one go.
Twenty minutes, and you'll know if it applies.
