Where consultants lose margin

Margin disappears in vague meetings, unpaid strategy, extra revisions, slow feedback loops and fragmented follow-up. A time log makes those leaks visible.

What to review weekly

Compare billable delivery with non-billable client work, then decide what needs a new boundary, a better package or a higher price.
