Why it matters
A single revenue number hides rework, refunds and churn. A small scorecard helps decide what to improve.
Where it is used
Create a weekly scorecard with accepted jobs, total hours, cash collected, costs, corrections and eligible repeat customers.
How you know you have learned it
Complete the scenario checks, explain the decision in your own words, and produce this artifact: Create a weekly scorecard with accepted jobs, total hours, cash collected, costs, corrections and eligible repeat customers.
Build a scorecard you can act on
The diagram loads as you scroll. Its values and worked example are available below.
Worked example
You deliver 8 accepted jobs in 32 hours and 3 of 8 eligible past customers reorder.
- Time per accepted job = 32 ÷ 8 = 4 hours, including review and rework.
- Repeat rate = 3 ÷ 8 = 37.5% for the stated window.
- Reconcile invoices, collected cash, refunds and costs separately before evaluating the offer.
- The scorecard separates delivery efficiency from repeat demand and cash. Investigate the weak measure instead of hiding it.
Your turn
Revenue rises while accepted jobs fall and corrections rise. Is the service clearly healthier?
Reveal answer
No. Price, one-off jobs or billing timing may explain revenue. Inspect quality, workload, costs and repeat demand before deciding.
