Profit Engine X-Ray: see how your business turns revenue into profit
In a few weeks, at your own pace, the system reads 24 months of your sales and cost lines, separates what scales with revenue from what quietly outruns it, finds your break-even and the cost of one more order, and shows what happens to profit under three scenarios: if nothing changes, if prices move, if the manual work goes.
What you get
// engine map
Every cost line in four classes
Scales with revenue, outruns it, fixed, or shrinking: break-even, operating leverage, revenue per employee and cost per order, in your currency.
// baseline + 3 scenarios
What profit does if nothing changes
A 12-month baseline from your own trend, then price, volume and manual-work scenarios, each with the number that matters: profit.
// action plan
Three levers with owners and KPIs
Management, team and numbers compared, a 2-hour workshop script and the final plan as a PDF.
A reference point: in a company with €5 million revenue, overheads that grow three points a year faster than sales cost about €150,000 of profit within two years. See a sample report (PDF) · sample results presentation

Report and workshop pack
You receive the consultant's report with our proposal for next steps, a 2-hour management workshop deck built as gap-filling with initiatives, and the results presentation for your management. Run the workshop yourselves; optionally enter the initiatives on your page and we add them to the presentation.
Who it is for
Companies of €2–50 million revenue whose profit has stopped following sales: overheads keep growing, every new order needs more people, and nobody can say at what revenue the business breaks even. Typical trigger: a Health Check that shows cost or profitability as the weakest area.
How it relates to the Margin X-Ray
The Margin X-Ray answers where the money is made: by which customers and products. The Profit Engine X-Ray answers how it is made: which costs scale, which outrun, and what one more order costs. They use the same sales file, so the second review needs only the cost and headcount data on top.
