TRUEHOUR Decision
TRUEHOUR Decision analyzes whether your business plan can realistically replace your current income—based on your time availability, pricing, fixed costs, and conservative operating assumptions.
Know if it works—before you commit.
Get a decisive Go / Not Yet / No-Go outcome, a confidence rating, and the single constraint most likely to break the plan. Built for owner-operators trying to transition from employment into a profitable business.
This assessment compares your income goal against the hours you said you can work right now (evenings/weekends). It does not assume unrealistic full-time scaling or perfect utilization.
What You Get
A decisive outcome
A locked-language decision: Go, Not Yet, or No-Go—based on conservative thresholds designed to prevent financially fragile plans.
Confidence + constraint
A Decision Confidence rating plus the Primary Failure Driver—so you know exactly what must change to make the plan viable.
A decision artifact
Export a Decision Summary (PDF) so you can review your assumptions, discuss with family, or revisit the plan as your constraints change.
How It Works
A conservative 10-minute assessment—built to prevent fantasy math.
You enter only what you know. The framework applies caps, shock buffers, and utilization reality checks to show whether income replacement is viable under your current constraints.
Set the target
Your income goal and transition intent (full replacement vs gradual vs side income).
Time reality
Your realistic evenings/weekends time—capped for sustainability.
Business basics
Rate, billable hours, and fixed commitments like payments/insurance.
Cost assumptions
Operating + overhead per hour and whether inputs are validated or estimates.
What It Measures
Viability under constraints
Reality Snapshot includes:
- •Target monthly income vs maximum potential monthly income
- •Required utilization rate (fragility indicator)
- •Monthly fixed costs (pressure indicator)
- •Shock buffer applied (weeks) based on risk posture
Trust & data quality
Decision Confidence reflects whether your costs are estimate-based or validated and whether the plan has enough margin for variability.
Important:
If you do not know your true cost-per-hour, the most reliable way to validate inputs is by calculating Ownership + Operating cost using TRUEHOUR.
When to Use TRUEHOUR Decision
- 1Before buying equipment or taking on a payment—verify the plan can carry fixed costs.
- 2Before quitting your job—test whether your current evenings/weekends time can support income replacement.
- 3When your pricing feels 'high' but margins are still thin—identify the real constraint.
- 4When you're relying on near-perfect utilization—flag fragility before it becomes debt pressure.
- 5When you want a disciplined Year 1 viability check with a soft look at Year 2 trajectory.
