CLIENT COHORT REVENUE ENGINE
How Does the Drilling Company Calculate Revenue?
The model converts marketing spend into acquired customers, retains cohorts by lifetime, calculates tier-level billable hours, and applies hourly rates to produce monthly revenue.
01
Acquire customers
Apply monthly marketing seasonality, then divide marketing spend by CAC to calculate new customers.
02
Allocate tiers
Distribute each month’s new customers across the selected client or service tiers.
03
Retain cohorts
Add starting customers and all cohorts still active within their stated customer lifetimes.
04
Build billable hours
Multiply active customers by average billable hours per active customer each month.
05
Calculate revenue
Multiply billable hours by hourly rates and total revenue across tiers and months.
The Revenue worksheet organizes acquisition, client cohorts, service allocation, billable hours, and hourly pricing that feed the monthly revenue calculation.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Drilling Company Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits client-cohort, billable-hour economics; structural custom work is better when your revenue logic, schedules, or reporting differ materially.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
Your drilling services are planned primarily through billable hours and hourly rates.
You acquire customers through marketing spend and a customer acquisition cost assumption.
You need service-tier allocation, customer lifetimes, and retained client cohorts.
You want linked cost, payroll, capital, scenario, statement, and dashboard planning.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your primary revenue depends on footage, day rates, milestones, or other non-cohort drivers.
You need detailed rig-by-rig capacity, scheduling, or utilization logic beyond billable-hour planning.
Your operating model requires materially different cost or capital schedules.
You need specialized reporting beyond the model’s existing statements and management views.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Formula Checks That Hold Up
Michael Turner, TX
One broken cell used to throw off my whole forecast, but this template kept the drilling model tied together. It saved me from hours of tracing formulas and made the numbers easier to trust.
