Revenue Diagnostic

Measure Where Workflow Friction May Be Suppressing Revenue in Your Firm

This is a firm-specific screening tool, not a one-size-fits-all score. Start with your revenue model, client acquisition pattern, and workflow profile, then we adapt the estimate to the categories most likely to matter for your firm.

Directional estimate only. Used to decide whether a deeper workflow review is warranted. No passwords, MFA tokens, API keys, client credentials, or direct system access required.

What It Measures

We estimate where workflow friction may be suppressing recurring monthly revenue and where cash may simply be delayed in the billing cycle. Not every category applies to every firm, so the diagnostic suppresses sections that do not fit the profile you select.

Why This Matters

The point is not to produce a dramatic vanity number. The point is to get a disciplined, directional read on whether deeper workflow review is justified before anyone spends time on a full operational assessment.

Inputs

Start with the routing fields first. They determine which workflow categories are actually relevant for your firm so the estimate stays grounded instead of pretending every firm has the same revenue mechanics.

Firm Routing

Active categories

Time Capture & Billing • Billing & Collections Workflow • New Matter Flow

Firm Context

Include partners and associates who bill time. Exclude paralegals and staff.

I don't know?Most firms we work with have 3-8 billing attorneys. Use 5 if you're unsure.

Optional benchmark context for the follow-up review.

Time Capture & Billing

Blended rate across all billing attorneys is fine.

$150$800
I don't know?Washington State average for small firms: $325-$425/hr. Use $350 if you're unsure.
20 hrs50 hrs
I don't know?Industry standard for full-time attorneys: 35-40 hrs/week. Use 35 if you're unsure.

Best estimate is fine. The goal here is a directional screen, not perfect precision.

10 hrs50 hrs
I don't know?Use 80% of your expected hours as a conservative estimate.
Billing & Collections Workflow

Use your best estimate from AR aging or billing-system reporting.

$0$500,000
I don't know?Estimate: average monthly billing x 1.5. Example: if you bill $50K/month, enter roughly $75K.

30 days is a benchmark, not a universal rule.

15 days120 days
I don't know?Use 45 days as a neutral starting point if you are unsure.
New Matter Flow

Scheduled consultations only — not every inbound inquiry.

1100
I don't know?Count the last 3 months of consultation calls and divide by 3.

Use a directional estimate if you do not track this formally.

10%70%
I don't know?Use 28% if you're not sure and you do not have a formal intake process.

Initial retainer or first fee collected — not full lifetime matter value.

$500$25,000
I don't know?Use a blended average if matters vary meaningfully.

Results framing

This is a directional estimate only. Monthly recurring opportunity is shown separately from delayed cash recovery so you can tell the difference between workflow improvement potential and cash that is already earned but stuck.

Time Capture Opportunity
$26,521 - $42,434/mo

Attorneys are logging roughly 7 fewer billable hours per week than target.

Unlogged hrs/wk = (35 - 28) x 5 = 35
Monthly opportunity = 35 x $350 x 4.33 = $53,043
Directional range = $26,521 - $42,434/mo
Collections Recovery Opportunity
$12,500 - $20,000 delayed cash

Collections are running about 15 days slower than the 30-day benchmark.

Excess days = 45 - 30 = 15
Cash tied up = $75,000 x (15 / 45) = $25,000
Directional range = $12,500 - $20,000 delayed cash
New Matter Conversion Opportunity
$2,363 - $3,780/mo

Moving from 28% toward 35% conversion would add about 1.1 new clients per month.

Target rate = 35% | Gap = 35% - 28% = 7%
Additional clients = 15 x 7% = 1.1
Monthly opportunity = 1.1 x $4,500 = $4,725
Directional range = $2,363 - $3,780/mo

Estimated recurring monthly opportunity

$28,884 - $46,214/mo

Delayed cash recovery opportunity

$12,500 - $20,000

Recurring annualized range: $346,605 - $554,568/year.
Currently flagged across 3 relevant workflow categories.

What this estimate is actually for

Use this screening result to decide whether a deeper workflow review is worth the time. We are intentionally not pretending every category applies to every firm, and we are intentionally not asking for system access just to produce an initial read.

Post-results explanation

These formulas use benchmark-informed assumptions and intentionally report a recoverable range instead of a single precise number. If the output looks meaningful, the next move is not blind implementation — it is a deeper workflow review to confirm where the friction actually lives.

No direct system access required for the initial review. We use this screening estimate to decide whether a deeper workflow review is warranted.

We'll use the numbers you entered as a directional starting point, pressure-test the assumptions with you, and tell you whether the opportunity looks real enough to justify a deeper workflow review.

Short review first. No obligation. No forced system access just to have the conversation.

What Happens Next

1You send your contact details and firm context.
2We review the screening result against your workflow profile.
3If it looks worth it, we recommend the right next level of review.

Confidentiality and trust: For this initial screening review, we do not need passwords, MFA tokens, API keys, client credentials, or direct system access.

We use the information you submit here to decide whether a deeper workflow review makes sense, not to force your firm into a premature implementation process.

After you submit, we'll email your screening summary and next-step details. If we create a secure portal account for follow-up materials, those login details arrive separately.
