Profitability is reviewed too infrequently to catch margin erosion early, so it compounds before anyone notices.
How This Shows Up in Practice
- Revenue is growing, but margin is flat or shrinking, and nobody can point to exactly why.
- Profitability by product line, customer, or project isn't tracked separately — only the company-wide total is visible.
- Margin erosion is discovered at quarter-end review, well after the specific deals or periods that caused it.
- Pricing and cost decisions are made without visibility into their actual margin impact at the time they are made.
