Payback math
Sized to one recovered job at your contribution margin.
Monthly fee ≤ avg booked job × per-job contribution margin
The fixed monthly is sized so the contribution margin on one recovered job covers the month. Contribution margin is what you keep on a job after parts, technician hours, and fuel — it's the right frame because the platform recovers demand, not fixed overhead. We don't quote against net profit because net profit is after rent, insurance, and payroll burden — the platform doesn't reduce those, so framing payback there understates what the platform actually does.

Per-job contribution margin assumptions: 40% on residential repair, 28% on parts-heavy replacement. Adjust to your own per-job economics during the Recovery Review — we'll model it on your real numbers.
