What the numbers look like — modeled, not measured
These worked examples are built from published industry benchmarks for each problem, not from our own customer data yet. We lead with the conservative case for credibility, and we replace every number with your measured result after 60-90 days.
Missed-Call Rescue
400 calls per month, 30% missed = 120 missed calls. Recovering 12% = about 14 bookings per month, 3-4 per week. At a $250 average ticket that is about $3,500 per month against the $299 price — roughly 11x. The mechanism is speed, not persuasion: responding within minutes instead of hours changes whether a lead is even reachable. The floor claim: 8% recovery at a $150 ticket on 200 calls is about $720 per month, still over 2x.
Invoice Chaser
Collectability decays with age: roughly 70 cents on the dollar at 90 days, 50% at 6 months, 25% at a year. A $1.2M per year business going 45 days to 36 days DSO releases about $29,600 of working capital, once. Cutting write-offs from 3% to 2% adds about $12,000 per year, recurring — over 5x the $199. Labor value alone often clears the price: 4-8 staff hours per week on collections falls to 1-2.
Chargeback Dispute Filer
Most merchants lose more to disputes they never file than to disputes they file and lose. Filing 90% of eligible disputes instead of a typical 40% roughly doubles recovered dollars even at the same win rate. $80k per month in processing at a 0.6% chargeback rate is about $480 per month disputed, roughly $5,760 per year. Above $500k per month in processing volume, the same math yields roughly $11k per year in incremental recovery. The tail-risk argument is bigger: Visa VDMP and Mastercard ECM monitoring trigger near a 0.9-1% ratio, and staying under the line protects your ability to accept cards at all. That is insurance, not a recovery line — which is why we qualify for merchants processing over $250k per month.
How we prove it
A 14-day baseline before the worker goes live, a 15-20% holdout of missed calls left unworked for the first month, a booking counted if it lands within 14 days of a rescued call, and payment counted within 14 days of a chase. Attribution windows in writing before launch. The rate at which clients approve drafts unchanged is one of the things that tells us when an approval gate can be relaxed — we'll publish that number once we've measured it.
Follow-up within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes changes a lead's qualification odds by roughly an order of magnitude — that response-time research is the mechanism we sell, and the worked examples above are modeled from published benchmarks, not our customer results yet.
