Assumptions

  • This is an estimate. Use conservative inputs and validate by billing accuracy and dispute trend.
  • Recoverable back-billing depends on contract terms and customer acceptance.
  • Dispute reduction depends on better evidence, invoice clarity, and consistent billing rules.

How to use

  1. Enter billed revenue and conservative estimates for underbilling, disputes, and back-billing.
  2. Review the breakdown and baseline transparency to validate assumptions.
  3. Share the memo with Finance and RevOps to align on scope and cadence.
  4. Re-run quarterly as billing standards and change order governance mature.

What results mean

Ongoing annual run-rate recovered revenue estimates the sustainable recovery from underbilling and dispute write-down reductions.

One-time recoverable back-billing estimates audit-driven recoveries that may occur once.

Payback period compares the one-time implementation cost to the ongoing monthly run-rate.

Common pitfalls

  • Using aggressive underbilling assumptions without evidence from usage data.
  • Ignoring dispute root causes that stem from inconsistent invoice standards.
  • Counting back-billing as recurring revenue instead of one-time recovery.
