🧾 FALIB® - Forecast Analysis Labor Intensive Business

Why teams use FALIB

• Price with intent, not guesswork. See true break-even and profit by source before bid day.

• Explain every dollar. Direct vs. indirect, markup vs. margin, and “what changed” are visible line-by-line.

• Model once, reuse everywhere. Swap inputs, re-forecast, and keep a consistent rationale for executives and auditors.

• Massive cost savings vs. consulting-style reports.
  Traditional firms deliver one report per cycle and you are stuck — if assumptions change, you pay again.
  FALIB lets you re-run the model as often as needed without repurchasing the analysis.

• Hands-on SaaS, not analyst-dependent.
  No dependency on outside consultants to “re-run the math” when one number changes.

• Built to be operated by the end-user — not a specialist.
  Unlike other SaaS systems that require weeks of onboarding and expert operators, FALIB is structured so working staff can run it with minimal training

FALIB-Mr™ (Master Report)

Use when compliance and per-employee accuracy matter.
FALIB-Mr™ models labor down to the individual where required and captures fringe shortfalls and wage-driven ripple so your costs reflect what payroll will actually pay. Indirects, pass-through profit, and the full hourly break-down roll into prime cost, break-even, and sell rate that you can defend.

Highlights

• Per-employee wages, fringe, PTO, retirement

• Ripple impact from wage/fringe changes

• Payroll taxes, comp, GL applied to the correct base

• Indirect pools (Overhead & G&A) and rate application

• Pass-through profit (COGS/subs) with blended effect

• Combined profit: markup %, margin %, dollar amount

• Compare G&A Rates from Single-Element base to Total Cost Input (TCI)

FALIB-Sr™(Is not available yet) — Senior (Speed + Value-Added Base + Produced Output)

The FALIB-Sr is still in production. Coming this Fall. 

Same structure as Mr but without Davis-Bacon logic and with VA-Base and Produced Output.

Removes

• No Davis-Bacon shortfalls

• No ripple modeling

• Roles can be grouped (no per-employee entry needed)

Adds

• Value-Added Base treatment for large pass-throughs (Includes Single-Element and TCI)

• Produced Output (barrels, fabricated units, etc.) with margin

• Faster entry for private / industrial / oil & gas environments

Use when: Speed and simplicity matter, and no Davis-Bacon or prevailing wages apply

FALIB-Jr™ — Job (Lightweight / Bid-Level)

A simplified version for one bid, one job, one decision.

Covers

• Takeoff quantities and labor hours for the specific job

• Custom unit rates that auto-populate to a break-even rate per unit and sell rate per unit

• Basic pass-through entry with fee and a quick margin view for the proposal

Relationship to Mr/Sr
FALIB-Jr is a simplified job-level view derived from either the Mr or Sr edition (whichever the organization uses), so the break-even math is still correct — just without the advanced compliance or element base layers at the job scale.
