Start with basic revenue inputs

The Matrix highlights which services and subscription tiers drive recurring revenue and which consume resources so you can boost margins and redeploy technicians. Use it to see if routine maintenance subscriptions are Cash Cows and which one-off jobs are Dogs. One clear outcome: reprice low-value jobs or bundle them.
