Honest observations about running a spatial design practice.

General Notes
1.

Yes, clearly we have been inspired by architectural sheets in this website.

2.

And yes, it almost took us half a year to finish it.

3.

And no, we don't regret it. Mostly.

Inquiry Leak Calculator

How much is your studio leaking on
wrong-fit inquiries?

Five questions reveal the real cost of inquiries that were never going to convert — and exactly how much of your year is going to them.

What we'll measure

Five numbers your studio probably isn't tracking.

Most founders feel the leak but never put a price figure on it. We will.

Volume

Inquiry Flow

How many inquiries land in your inbox each month — and how many actually deserve your attention.

Fit

Wrong-Fit Rate

The percentage of inquiries that were never going to convert — wrong budget, wrong scope, wrong values.

Time

Hours Sunk

The hours you spend reviewing, replying, and on intro calls before you realize an inquiry isn't a fit.

Proposals

Proposal Hours Lost

The time that disappears into proposals for clients who were never going to sign — drafting, scoping, revisions, follow-ups.

Rate

Effective Hourly

What your time is actually worth — annual revenue divided by hours, or what you would charge for consulting.

What you'll get

Not a generic estimate. Your number.

01

Your Annual Leak

A single number: how much wrong-fit inquiries cost your studio over twelve months. The figure that makes the problem real.

02

Hours You Won't Get Back

Translated into time: how many hours per year disappear into inquiries that were never serious. Time you could spend on real work or actual rest.

03

The Client Zoning Framework

A free decision tool that tells you, in 10 minutes, whether an inquiry belongs in your studio. So you stop deciding inquiry by inquiry.
