Margin X-Ray
14-Day Structured Diagnostic
Quantify your structural margin dependencies. Measure override frequency, decision latency, and margin floor compliance. Deliverables: diagnostic report, guardrail recommendations, automation roadmap.
Investment
$2,500
Fixed fee. No surprises. Fully scoped.
For distributors with $15M–$30M revenue, even a 2% structural margin correction often exceeds the full diagnostic investment.
Deliverables
What You Receive
Override Frequency Audit
Quantify how many deals deviate from standard pricing. Identify patterns and key decision-makers.
Decision Latency Analysis
Measure approval cycle time. Identify bottlenecks. Understand how speed impacts margin consistency.
Margin Floor Compliance Report
Assess current margin floors by product/service. Identify erosion patterns. Recommend guardrail levels.
Structural Dependency Map
Document pricing logic. Identify tribal knowledge. Map automation opportunities.
Guardrail Architecture Recommendations
Specific guardrail design. Override thresholds. Approval workflows. Escalation protocols.
Automation Roadmap
Phased approach to pricing automation. Quick wins. Long-term architecture. Resource requirements.

What This Is Not
Not Consulting
We don't advise. We diagnose and measure.
Not Advisory
We deliver specific, actionable guardrail architecture.
Not Software Deployment
We design the guardrails. You implement with your existing systems.
Industrial AI deployments consistently underperform when override frequency, latency, and margin floors are not first quantified. The Margin X-Ray establishes this foundation.
