$36,000.00 of illustrative fees less $35,400.00 of listed costs leaves $600.00 before central overhead and tax. Additional lead and review time leaves too little contribution for the planned reserve and central overhead.

These are fictional worked examples, not Intent Solutions prices, compensation terms, customer results, forecasts or offers. “Revenue” means illustrative contracted fees or billings within the stated scenario and horizon; it does not establish accounting recognition, an invoice already sent or cash collected. Conditional fees require their specified event. Supplier receipts are gross business invoices, not individual take-home pay. Contribution is fees less the listed direct costs, before central overhead and tax; a reserve is a proposed holdback, not an additional expense. Amounts are USD. Program sources explain mechanisms, not Intent enrollment, guaranteed opportunities or payment rights. Credits are not cash. Each real engagement needs its own agreed scope and terms.

The cost ledger that produces the figure. Supplier receipts are gross business invoices, not personal take-home pay.
