CLIENT-COHORT BILLABLE-HOURS REVENUE
How Does Art Provenance Research Revenue Calculate in the Model?
Marketing spend and CAC create new customers, tier allocation and lifetime determine active cohorts, then monthly billable hours and hourly rates calculate revenue.
01
Acquire Customers
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
02
Allocate Tiers
New customers are distributed across service tiers using the selected allocation.
03
Retain Cohorts
Starting customers and unexpired cohorts determine active customers by tier.
04
Build Billable Hours
Active customers multiply by average monthly billable hours for each tier.
05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.
CORE FORMULARevenue = Active customers × Billable hours per customer × Hourly rate

Is the Art Provenance Research Service Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits client-cohort, billable-hours services; structural custom work is more appropriate when your revenue or operating logic differs materially.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
You acquire customers through marketing spend and a defined CAC.
You segment clients or services into tiers with different economics.
Revenue depends on active clients, monthly billable hours, and hourly rates.
You want five-year statements, scenario comparisons, and management reporting.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your core revenue uses fixed project fees, commissions, royalties, or another structure.
Your client retention logic requires milestones, contracts, or nonstandard cohort rules.
Your operating schedules require specialized capacity, inventory, or project accounting.
Your reporting needs materially different statements, schedules, or decision outputs.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
