我们不知道哪些产品能赚钱
in 专业服务

简短回答

每家专业服务公司都有合伙人认为盈利的服务线，而通常正是这条线在通过合伙人薪酬被补贴。 对专业服务公司来说，这体现在特定地方。承载答案的数字是可计费利用率和实现率，而该行业的特定复杂性在于，合伙人薪酬理性地支付人们不去销售公司中最高利润率的产品。这个问题的通用版本和你实际所处的版本，第一步行动不同。

项目级利润率确实难算，因为多数成本如非计费时间和闲置人力是共用的，按每合伙人收入比例分摊通常会直接把答案定死。这种分摊让高收入项目显得成本高、低收入项目显得高效，而实际情况往往相反——低收入工作消耗了不成比例的合伙人杠杆和实现努力。

可行的做法只追踪能直接归属到项目的成本，如直接人力成本，其余不做分摊。这样就能得出服务线的贡献额，以及一个诚实的共享成本池（含利用率拖累），比没人相信的全成本吸收数字有用得多。

结果通常不舒服。大多数组合里，少数服务线撑起整个公司，至少有一条长期存在的线已亏损多年，而合伙人仍以为它在赚钱，因为薪酬奖励的是利用率而非项目利润率。

如何判断这确实是你的问题

这三者同时出现才是标志。单独一个通常指向其他问题。

✓ 利用率只报公司整体目标，没有按服务线拆分
✓ 尽管部分业务存在持续闲置，仍未终止任何服务线
✓ 两位合伙人对同一类项目的实现率说法不一致

通常会让情况更糟的做法。 用任意的合伙人杠杆比率把所有间接成本全部分摊到每个项目，得出一个建立在任意规则上的精确利润率，还因为它与薪酬模型吻合而被捍卫。

Who this is for — and who it is not

It is for you if you run or finance a professional services firm and product profitability is quoted as a company-wide gross margin. 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.

实际运行分析时的样子

Below is an excerpt from a real run of this analysis on 一家专业服务公司. 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 Aldergate Partners, a sample company profile used for testing rather than a customer — $88M revenue, 310 people.

引擎如何处理这个问题

This question routes to 矩阵策略, one of 29 engagements the platform runs. For 专业服务公司 it works through billable utilisation, realisation, revenue per partner and engagement gross margin, 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.

人们关于此问题的常见提问

我需要作业成本法吗？

几乎不需要。可追踪成本加一个不分摊的池子就能给你排名，而排名才是你需要行动的依据。完整的作业成本法往往比它要解决的决策活得更久。

支持其他产品的产品怎么办？

明确说清楚并定价支持成本。一条亏损但真正拉动盈利收入的线，就是有名字的营销费用——只要有人做过这个决定，就没问题。

多久重做一次？

每年一次，重大组合变化后也重做一次。排名比具体数字更稳定，所以每次做都会越来越省力。

Is this different in professional services than in other industries?

Materially, yes. Partner compensation rationally pays people not to sell the highest-margin product in the firm — which changes both the diagnosis and the order of the fixes. The metrics that decide it here are billable utilisation, realisation, revenue per partner, and an answer built on industry-general benchmarks will usually point at the wrong one first.

What data do I need before this analysis is worth running for a professional services firm?

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 billable utilisation and realisation. 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.

When is Percision the wrong tool?

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.

Does Percision replace a lawyer, tax advisor, auditor, or AI implementation team?

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.
