GuideThe Management Layer LadderEvery management hire, from a first working foreman to an operations manager, answers the same question: what is the owner's time actually worth, and does this hire free up more of it than it costs.

Methodology

Formula: net annual value = (admin hours freed × freed-hour value × weeks) + (jobs not dropped × average job profit) - hire cost.

Assumption: jobs-not-dropped and average job profit both default to zero, your own estimate, not a supplied benchmark.

Limitation: this values two specific benefits (time freed, jobs saved), it does not model quality-of-service improvements more broadly.
