Finally know if your
firm is working for you

The questions
These should be answerable.
They have not been.
01
"What should I charge?"
Not what the market will bear. The specific number your cost structure actually requires — derived from your real compensation, your real expenses, and your billable capacity. Sightline computes it and tracks whether you're living it.
02
"Was this project profitable — and when did it stop?"
The exact moment a project stops being profitable, in dollars, in real time. Not at the invoice. While there is still time to protect the margin. Scope creep surfaced as a dollar figure, not a vague concern.
03
"When am I ready to grow?"
Twelve signals tracked automatically against your actual data. A composite readiness score. The distinction between seasonal overwhelm and structural capacity shortage — before you make an irreversible decision.
04
"Can I afford to hire?"
The fully burdened cost, the ramp time, the break-even week, the net margin at 12 months. Run the scenario before the conversation. Know the number before you make the call.
A look inside
The tool, before you commit
Why it matters
The cost of not knowing
Rate gap · annual
$65,800
The annualized cost of the average gap between what designers charge and what their cost structure requires. Silently. Without a single bad project. Without knowing it is happening.
Scope creep · per project
$11,200
Average unrecovered time cost per project for firms without real-time profitability tracking. Not because the projects went badly. Because nobody saw it happening until the invoice was already sent.
Wrong hire · estimated
$60k+
The estimated cost of a premature hire when the capacity crunch turns out to be seasonal rather than structural. A decision made on feeling rather than data.
