The Revenue Debt You Cannot See
Why the revenue number reveals nothing about the machine that produced it: how to locate the gate that is quietly costing the most.
- Five gates at 70% efficiency present as a healthy engine and deliver just 17% of its potential: a gap no dashboard that reports gates one at a time can see.
- The highest-return investment is rarely more funnel volume; it is closing the single gate carrying the most Revenue Debt: a correction often near-free relative to its return.
