"You have the margin data. You do not have the diagnosis."
Most PS margin problems start in the same place. A SOW without clear hours. A go-live date the customer does not feel accountable to. Projects that run long because nobody defined what out of scope actually means. CadenceOps connects SOW discipline to delivery outcomes and margin so you can see exactly where the leak is and what to fix first.
Most PS teams know their projects run long. Few know by how much, in which phases, and whether it is a scoping problem or a delivery problem. The SOW Baseline Builder maps your standard engagement model against what actually gets delivered so you can see where the gap lives.
When projects run over it usually means one of three things. You underestimated the effort. The customer pushed timelines and you absorbed the cost. Or scope crept and nobody called it. The Margin Leak Finder tells you which one is happening and how often.
Fixing PS margin is not just a finance exercise. It requires tighter SOW language, clearer customer accountability, and a delivery model that flags risk before a project goes sideways. The Financial Action Planner gives you a prioritized list of changes ranked by financial impact.
Hours are not clearly defined. Customers push timelines and you absorb the cost. Go-live dates slip because nobody is accountable to them. You need a SOW model that creates clarity and holds on both sides.
You know delivery is costing more than it should. What you do not know is whether it is a scoping problem, an estimation problem, or a customer behavior problem. The diagnosis matters because the fix is different for each one.
You are not running full project-level P&L today but you know you need to get there. You need a starting point that is lightweight enough to implement now and rigorous enough to build on as the team matures.
