Financial Methodology

Vacancy Burn Logic

Calculates the daily opportunity cost and disruption of an empty seat based on margin contribution.

Daily Burn = (Annual Margin Contribution + Loaded Comp) / 260 days

Mis-hire Risk

Estimates the financial fallout of a failed hire (calculated at 1.5x Loaded Comp).

Expected Risk = Probability % × (Loaded Comp × 1.5)
