If input costs move and realised price does not, margin is a decision you are currently making by inaction.
Cost inflation is only a problem if you cannot pass it through or change mix. The useful work is: which costs actually moved, which customers can take a price change, and which work should stop because it no longer contributes. A blanket freeze on hiring while continuing to sell the unprofitable mix is how the P&L gets worse more slowly.
The move that usually makes it worse: An across-the-board cost cut that hits the work that still contributes, because that is where the people are.
Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.

Strategy School lesson: margin-leaking
On the customers and products where value still supports it. Uniform pass-through loses the price-sensitive work and still undercharges the rest.

It is one of the three causes of shrinking margins. If mix and cost-to-serve are stable and inputs moved, this is the page. If they are not, start at margins-are-shrinking.
