The Capacity Check

How much work is your payroll actually buying?

Three inputs, industry, revenue, headcount, and you'll see where you sit against your industry's revenue-per-employee benchmark, what the gap is worth in dollars, and which playbooks close it.

Everything runs in your browser. Your numbers are not sent anywhere. Only an anonymous industry + "above / inside / below the range" result is counted so I know the tool gets used.

About the benchmarks

Industry survey data, 2025–2026. Directional benchmarks: for decisions, compare against direct industry peers at similar company size, not cross-industry averages.

The full chain from this number to exit valuation, and the survey data behind the multiple math, is in the flagship playbook.

Read your number with care

· Contractors outside the headcount denominator inflate the number.
· Role mix matters: compare against peers with a similar shape, not just the same industry label.
· It is a lagging indicator: it reflects what already happened, not whether your next hire pays off.
· Premium valuations need the trend sustained for 12+ months, not one good quarter.

You now have the number your buyer checks first. The next step is the one that moves it: start with a playbook or bring it to a call.
