Forecast Analysis Labor Intensive Business
The FALIB® report family connects labor-rate strategy, job-level pricing, production assumptions, Change Orders, and consolidated financial reporting through a clear UUID-linked record.
The FALIB® report family
FALIB®-Mr and FALIB®-Sr establish the financial foundation. FALIB®-Jr, FALIB® P&P, and FALIB® Roll-Up explain how that foundation is used in a specific estimate, Change Order, and consolidated job view.
Employee-level labor intelligence
Models labor at the employee level when pay, benefits, classifications, or prevailing-wage obligations require greater precision.
Senior-level forecast by labor group or role
Builds a faster strategic forecast from labor groups, role structures, hybrid revenue, Total Cost Input (TCI), and Value-Added Base (VAB) assumptions.
Job financial reconciliation
Explains one pricing decision using the originating labor-rate structure. It is available for the base estimate and for a specific Change Order.
Production and Pricing
Shows the operational build behind the price. A P&P report can accompany the base estimate and each individual Change Order.
A new financial summary without rewriting the source
Consolidates an accepted base estimate or proposal whose rate foundation originated from either FALIB®-Mr or FALIB®-Sr, plus accepted Change Orders when present.
G&A rate architecture
FALIB® distinguishes the hourly Single-Element Direct Labor application from the Total Cost Input and Value-Added Base views used in financial totals. The base changes the percentage and where the rate is applied.
These rates are not added together. They are different views of G&A allocation. Single-Element supports the hourly labor build; TCI and VAB are alternative financial-summary bases. The applicable report identifies which base produced the displayed rate.
Direct-wage allocation for the hourly rate composition
G&A cost assigned to sold labor ÷ Direct Base Wages
The rate is applied to Direct Base Wages only. It is not applied to burden, fringe, or previously loaded indirect costs, which keeps the hourly build from compounding one cost layer onto another.
Shown in: hourly labor-rate and FALIB®-Jr composition views.
G&A allocation across the modeled total cost input
G&A Pool ÷ Total Cost Input
TCI combines the modeled labor-cost streams, including their applicable burden and cost layers, with eligible Pass-Through cost input associated with the Sold Labor and Pass-Through revenue streams where present. The G&A pool is excluded from its own denominator so the rate does not self-load.
Shown in: financial totals, job reconciliation, and Roll-Up reporting.
Alternative G&A view when Pass-Through costs are excluded
G&A Pool ÷ Value-Added Cost Base
VAB removes configured Pass-Through costs—such as subcontractors, materials, or travel—from the allocation base. This shows the G&A rate against the cost activity where the contractor adds value.
Shown in: alternative totals analysis when the VAB method is selected.
What the reports show
FALIB®-Jr explains the job-level financial result. FALIB® P&P explains the scope, production assumptions, labor hours, cost rates, and unit pricing that produced the estimate.
One estimate or one Change Order, reconciled to the originating FALIB® rate structure and UUID.
Example values are shown to explain report structure. Forecast outputs are not incurred-cost actuals or audited financial results.
The operational evidence behind unit pricing: what is produced, how it is performed, the expected production rate, labor hours, cost rate, unit rate, and extended total.
| Scope Item | Method | Production | Quantity | Labor Hours | Cost Rate | Unit Rate | Total |

The complete P&P output also records application count, product or material, material coverage, scope clarifications, and project notes. The P&P scope total does not force COM/ROI into each unit rate; FALIB®-Jr presents COM/ROI separately and reconciles the final contract sum. A separate P&P may be generated for the base estimate and for each specific Change Order.
How the reports connect
Each report has a specific purpose. Together, they let a reviewer move from the rate foundation to the estimate, any Change Orders, and the latest consolidated job summary without replacing history.
Build the labor-rate and indirect-cost foundation at the appropriate level of detail.
Use that foundation in the proposal or estimate and preserve the originating UUID.
Document the financial reconciliation and the operational production-and-pricing build.
When needed, each Change Order can have its own FALIB®-Jr and FALIB® P&P.
Generate a new versioned summary from accepted records while the estimate and Change Orders stay intact.
Protected reporting history
Once a FALIB® report is attached to or used in a proposal, it is immutable. If forecast assumptions change, create a new FALIB® report with a new UUID. A Roll-Up is different: it generates a new versioned summary of accepted job records while preserving the job's existing source trail.
Source estimate stays unchanged
The accepted proposal or estimate remains exactly as approved.
Change Orders stay separate
Each accepted Change Order remains independently identifiable and reviewable.
Roll-Up adds a summary layer
The new summary records its version, included records, and consolidated totals.
For auditors and reviewers
These public report descriptions explain what each FALIB® output is designed to show. The actual proposal package supplies the applicable report, UUID, assumptions, and supporting records for that job.
Methodology is explained publicly; customer names, labor data, estimates, and contract records remain within the controlled proposal package.
No. It creates a new consolidated financial summary from the accepted source records and preserves those records unchanged.
Yes. A specific Change Order can have its own FALIB®-Jr financial reconciliation and FALIB® P&P production-and-pricing report.
No. Forecast outputs are estimates based on the inputs and assumptions in effect when the report was generated. Actual incurred costs occur later.
BreakEven+™ is Servvian's pricing workflow. FALIB® reports document the financial and production logic used at the applicable stage.
Report length changes with the size and complexity of the underlying estimate. Reviewers should use the report titles, section headings, UUID, and version trail rather than a universal page number.
