Straight talk

Every figure here is measured in adjacent home-services and local-business data, not in excavation specifically, because no study measures excavation directly. Treat them as industry benchmarks, not a promise about your shop. The dollar model uses a conservative $4,000 job and your own call volume, the two inputs to replace with your real numbers. And one more piece of straight talk: we don't close your jobs, you do. Our work ends when the site visit is on your calendar and the transcript proves it got there.
