Job Profitability Leak Review

Explain where a job’s expected margin changed using an evidence-bound estimate-to-actual bridge and recovery/prevention actions. Semantic signature Job: Diagnose job-level margin leakage. Input: Estimate or budget, actual labor/material/cost records, invoices, allocation rules, and target margin. Output: Margin bridge, leakage register, evidence gaps, and prioritized actions. Method: Estimate-to-actual quantity, rate, scope, timing, and recovery variance decomposition. Success criteria: Revenue and cost totals reconcile; each variance has evidence; allocation assumptions are visible; actions target controllable causes. Distinctive feature: Decomposes margin loss into operational mechanisms rather than producing a generic profitability summary.
