Economics & Pricing

Part of the CorpDoc Framework

This tool sits within the Economics & Pricing pillar — it reveals whether your pricing and variable costs create enough margin to sustain your business. It is the foundation for pricing decisions, break-even analysis, and understanding which products or customers truly drive profitability. It connects directly to the Cost Structure & Efficiency pillar when you are ready to go deeper.

What does your margin mean?

Range	Rating	What it means
Above 50%	Excellent	More than half of every sale goes toward covering overheads and profit. Protect this margin and reinvest wisely.
30% – 50%	Solid	You are keeping a healthy share, but watch for rising costs. Small improvements can push you into the excellent range.
15% – 30%	Thin Margin	You are working hard but keeping very little from each sale. Growth will not fix thin margins — address pricing or costs first.
Below 15%	Urgent	Once fixed costs are added, you are likely losing money on each sale. Pricing, costs, or offering structure must change now.
