Beste betekent niet grootste op contractwaarde. Het betekent de projecten of klanten die hoge brutomarge per project opleveren, sterke backlogdekking en herhaalbare service zonder boetes voor vertraging. Wat dit moeilijker maakt voor bouw- en installatiebedrijven is structureel: servicewerk levert dubbele marge op van projecten en verliest elke discussie over personeel aan boetes voor vertraging. Elke geloofwaardige oplossing moet daarom brutomarge per project en backlogdekking in één overzicht houden, precies waar de meeste interne analyses stoppen omdat die twee in verschillende systemen zitten.

De meeste installatiebedrijven kunnen hun grootste projecten benoemen en maar heel weinig hun beste, omdat beste vraagt om drie dingen die meestal in verschillende systemen zitten: brutomarge per project, vastlegging van meerwerk en service-aanhakpercentage.
De resultaten zijn vaak verrassend. De grootste projecten scoren vaak midden in de ranking als je veldarbeid en boetes meeneemt; het beste segment is vaak servicewerk dat niemand bewust heeft opgezocht, per ongeluk is ontdekt en nooit is gestructureerd.
Dit is belangrijk omdat het alles daarna bepaalt. Op wie je offert, welke capaciteiten je toevoegt, waar je meerwerk prijst, wat je in offertes zegt. Het verkeerd doen betekent dat je de hele operatie optimaliseert voor de verkeerde mix van werk.
Deze drie samen zijn het kenmerk. Eén op zichzelf wijst meestal ergens anders op.
✓ Beste project betekent grootste op contractwaarde in gesprek met eigenaar of CFO
✓ Brutomarge per project wordt niet apart bijgehouden voor project- versus servicewerk
✓ Backlogdekking wordt alleen in totaalbedrag gerapporteerd zonder uitsplitsing naar marge of aanhakpercentage
De stap die het meestal erger maakt. Het ideale klantprofiel definiëren vanuit de grootste projecten, waardoor je juist de projecten met de strengste boetes voor vertraging selecteert in plaats van de beste brutomarge per project.
It is for you if you run or finance a contractor and best customer means largest by revenue in internal conversation. It is the situation where the numbers are available but nobody has put them in an order that produces a decision.
It is not for you if 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. Percision is not a lawyer, tax advisor, auditor, licensed appraiser, clinical or regulatory filer, or an AI implementation shop. It does not do HR casework, creative-only brand work, or impersonate a named consulting firm. It is a strategy analysis engine — not a template library. Also wrong if you need facilitation, politics, or someone to sit with a lender or buyer. Those are human jobs.

Below is an excerpt from a real run of this analysis on een aannemer. It is a sample profile rather than a customer, and it is engine output translated from English — this is the format you get, on your own numbers.
The subject is Halloway Mechanical, a sample company profile used for testing rather than a customer — $180M revenue, mechanical contracting.

The move. Convert sole-source hospital service contracts into shared-savings performance contracts that extend durability from 36-48 months to 48+ months while adding 15-25% performance-fee revenue.
The leak it closes. Plugs $5.4M annual change-order leakage by shifting from construction margin (14.9% gross) to service margin (32% gross) plus performance fees
The assumption it rests on. Hospital systems will convert existing sole-source service contracts to shared-savings structure within 12 months — the engine put the probability at 0.75.
| Investment required | $2.1M Phase 1 (existing cash) + $1.8M Phase 2 (reinvested service margin) + $3.2M Phase 3 (ESOP-compliant revolver draw) = $7.1M total over 36 months |
| Expected return | 5.3× on $7.1M total investment yielding $12.1M incremental Year 3 revenue at 32% gross margin plus 15-25% performance fees |
| Revenue, year 1 | $0.8M performance-fee revenue from 3 pilot contracts |
| Revenue, year 2 | $4.8M performance-fee revenue plus $1.2M incremental service renewals |
| Revenue, year 3 | $12.1M total incremental revenue (performance fees + service renewals + franchise fees) |
| Exit criteria | Exit this move if (a) fewer than 2 of 3 pilot hospitals convert to performance contracts by Month 12, OR (b) net margin on performance contracts falls below 12% for two consecutive quarters, OR (c) unfilled journeyman positions exceed 30 by Month 18 despite $720K recruiting investment |

This question routes to Customer Value Architecture, one of 29 engagements the platform runs. For bouw- en installatiebedrijven it works through job gross margin, backlog cover, change-order capture and service attach rate, then produces the sequence rather than a list of options — which move first, what it funds, and the observation that would say the sequence is wrong.

Combineer bijdrage, acquisitiekosten en retentie op segmentniveau. Elk van de drie apart geeft een ranking die zeker fout is.
Dat is meestal goed nieuws — het is een instructie voor targeting. De relevante vraag is of het segment groot genoeg is om je groeiplan te dragen, en dat is te beantwoorden.
Pas eerst de prijzen aan; sommige worden rendabel en de rest vertrekt vanzelf. Direct lozen is sneller maar kost je de informatie over welke aanpasbaar waren.
Materially, yes. Service work earns double the margin of projects and loses every staffing argument to liquidated-damages clauses — which changes both the diagnosis and the order of the fixes. The metrics that decide it here are job gross margin, backlog cover, change-order capture, and an answer built on industry-general benchmarks will usually point at the wrong one first.
Less than most people expect. Your last twelve months of revenue and cost split the way you already split it, plus whatever you hold on job gross margin and backlog cover. The analysis is explicit about what it is assuming where your data stops, which is more useful than waiting for numbers you may never have.
