ProofSpring Margin & Capacity Lab
Price work, protect your margin and see available capacity before you commit to the next project.
The problem this solves
You quote from instinct, find out the real cost halfway through delivery, and take on the next project without knowing whether you actually have room for it.
What the system makes you do
- 01
Establish your true delivered cost per hour and per project type.
- 02
Model pricing scenarios against the margin you need to hold.
- 03
Map committed capacity against what is still genuinely available.
- 04
Run each new opportunity through the same test before you say yes.
What you end up with
A repeatable pricing and capacity check you run before every quote, so the answer is a number rather than a guess.
Is this the right fit?
Built for
Service businesses, agencies and consultants who quote project work and need their pricing to survive delivery.
Not for you if
You sell a fixed-price product with no delivery labour attached — the margin maths here is built around capacity.
Need help choosing?
Three questions and the bottleneck finder will point at whichever of the 14 systems matches where your business actually is. If a different one fits better, it will say so.
Product questions
Do I need accounting knowledge to use this?
No. The lab is built to be worked through in plain terms — you bring your own figures and it structures the calculation around them.
Will it tell me what to charge?
It shows you what a given price does to your margin and capacity. The decision stays yours; the system removes the guesswork from it.
Does it work in currencies other than AUD?
Yes. You enter your own figures, so the system is currency-agnostic.
What if it is not right for my business?
Email hello@proofspring.digital and tell me what went wrong. Checkout runs through Gumroad and its refund terms are shown at the point of purchase, but the sale is mine, so raise it with me. Nothing here removes the consumer guarantees you have under Australian Consumer Law.
