Capability is the margin you lose before anyone forecasts it.

Know in January whether your March bench will hold. We forecast it on your own data in four weeks, name the first action with an owner and a date, and leave your team running the method.

Which account would hurt most if its March bench came in at 70% of plan?

01 · The leak

“It takes four months before a new hire is any use.”

You hire 100 for a requirement of 80. The loss happens before anyone is measuring.

The shortfall surfaces in a QBR as a line about refreshers and backfill, after the client has felt it. By then the penalty is booked and the team leaders have spent a quarter firefighting. The name for it is time to proficiency, and it is forecastable.

NeverSome never reach the floor. Offer-to-floor loss is absorbed as a hiring number, not a capability number.
LateSome reach it late. The seat is paid for weeks before it earns; graduation and proficiency are not the same day.
GoneSome leave before they are dependable. New-hire attrition is reported with tenured attrition, so its cause stays hidden.

02 · The forecast

“Will I have enough trained people on the floor in March?”

A 90-day forward view of delivery-ready seats against need.

03 · Your number, by geography · illustrative model

Your number, in black and white.

Pick the geographies you are ramping, type your numbers, and read the result: delivery-ready seats week by week against the seats you need in March, red where you are below 90%, the reasons ranked by how many seats each one costs, and the first action that moves it.

Up to five at once. Each starts from what we watch first in that market — illustrative starting points to adjust, not benchmarks.

Get this on your real data in four weeks →

Illustrative model, not a forecast of your operation. The diagnosis replaces these inputs with your dialer, quality, attendance and assessment data, per geography, and your controller signs the baseline.

A cohort starts every three weeks. Everything else is yours to set.

04 · The first action, then the gates

“Don’t give me a dashboard. Tell me what to do this week.”

One owner. One date. One number.

Accounts sorted by risk, red first, one recommended action each. The system recommends; a person decides. If the diagnosis finds no material gap, we say so and stop.
