Capacity modeling

Allocation and bookings

Who is on what, at what percentage, for how long.

Bench and open capacity

Idle time surfaced while it can still be sold.

Utilization targets

By person, role, practice area and firm, against your targets.

Over-allocation alerts

Before someone quietly runs at 112% for a month.

Leave and holidays

Capacity net of time off, not gross headcount.

Realized billable rate

What the mix actually earns, against what it was priced at.

Skills from delivered work

Inferred from time-entry content and its Jira, calendar and activity signals. Taxonomy editable.

Where the week actually went

Entries sorted into your firm's own categories: admin, meetings, delivery. Nobody tags anything.

Staffing gaps ahead

Where the next quarter is short, by role.

Scenario planning

Move people, and watch the margin move with them.

Utilization against your target

Not a generic benchmark. Each person is measured against the target their role actually carries.

Allocation before it becomes a problem

Forward-looking bookings show where the firm is over-committed while there is still time to move someone.

The cost of the bench

Availability is priced, so a staffing decision is an economic decision rather than a calendar one.

Where bookings come from

Roles and weeks, before anyone is booked.

The resource plan is built at scoping and carried into delivery, so a booking traces back to the role and the week the engagement was priced on rather than to whoever was free that morning.
