— Who this is for

Solo electricians, small shops (1–5 trucks), owners who close $100K–$1M and still aren't sure which job types are profitable.

— The problem

Knowify documented it: "most electrical company owners don't know their actual margins by work type and can't tell you if certain job types made money." One owner brought in $100K/yr working 100 hrs/week — $20/hr against the $29/hr industry average — and didn't know. ServiceTitan and Jobber track invoices. None of them debrief the job afterward.

— What you get on setup day

  • A Google Sheets job-costing workbook pre-loaded with electrical labor categories (rough, trim, service, panel, low-voltage, controls)
  • Overhead allocation formulas (your overhead rate + labor burden + truck cost / billable hour)
  • A Claude-powered debrief prompt that takes a job description + actual hours + material receipts and outputs a one-page "where you made money / where you bled / what to quote differently next time"
  • Per-job-type margin trends — after 10 jobs, the sheet shows you which work types pay vs which leak
  • Customer-facing one-pager (optional) you can use to defend higher pricing on the work types that prove out
  • 60-min setup call where we load YOUR overhead, YOUR labor rates, YOUR actual job mix

— How it runs after setup

  1. 01Log every job as it closes — actual hours by category, material receipts, customer name
  2. 02Tool runs the math: revenue − labor (burdened) − materials − overhead allocation = profit
  3. 03Claude writes the debrief: where the time went, where the waste was, what to quote differently
  4. 04After 10 jobs: pattern surfaces. "Panel upgrades pay 38%. Service calls pay 11%. Maybe you don't want more service calls."
  5. 05End of quarter: per-job-type rollup. Decide which work to chase, which to walk away from

— Sample questions you can ask

The notebook answers things like this, with the source page cited every time:

  • "Debrief job 24-118 — 200A service upgrade in Floyds Knobs, 14 hours actual vs 10 quoted"
  • "Show me my margin by job type for Q1"
  • "Which work type has my lowest realized hourly rate?"
  • "Compare this quarter's panel-upgrade margin to last quarter"

— Not built for this

Honest scope. If you need any of these, it's a different conversation:

  • Replacing QuickBooks — this is the debrief, your accounting still lives in QBO
  • Live time-tracking during the job (use whatever you use — we ingest the totals)
  • Customer billing — this looks at jobs after they close

If you're working 80 hours and don't know which 40 hours are paying you, the answer is: probably not the ones you think.
