Inputs you provide

Count inquiries for work the firm would realistically accept. Exclude existing-client support, spam, conflicts, and obvious poor fits.
- What share wait, go quiet, or never reach the right first consultation?
Use recent experience across calls, referrals, forms, email, screening, and scheduling.
- When a good-fit prospect reaches a prepared consultation, what share normally become engagements?

Method
- The firm supplies every operating rate and value used in the calculation. TQP supplies the visible range treatment and client-intake interpretation.
- The calculation uses the user's recent operating inputs, keeps the modeled exposed cohort disjoint, and keeps senior time separate from the opportunity range.
Assumptions
- Only serious, good-fit inquiries are included: Existing-client support, spam, conflicts, unsuitable work, and obvious poor fits stay outside the calculation.
- Your normal engagement win rate: Practice area, referral quality, professional obligations, capacity, and engagement structure vary too much for one universal benchmark.
- First-engagement value only: Lifetime value, referrals, cross-service expansion, and future matters are excluded.
- Senior intake time stays separate: The hours are not monetized or added to revenue because both pressures may come from the same intake friction.
How to interpret the result
- The result is a directional planning estimate, not verified lost revenue, causal attribution, or guaranteed recovery.
- No. It models administrative intake using the firm’s own operating numbers. Professional judgment, eligibility, advice, conflicts, and engagement decisions remain with qualified people at the firm.
- Compare the result with recent call, form, booking, proposal, and CRM records before making an operating decision.
