Profit Leak Diagnostic

As businesses grow, some profit leakage becomes harder to notice.

Revenue is not profit. We find where money is leaving inside the revenue you already earn, quantify it in rupees, and prioritise what to fix first.

Six leak areas · evidence-based · nothing presented as guaranteed savings

Where profit goes

Six places profit leaks out of a growing business.

Each is measured from your own data with a stated formula and a stated assumption. No black box — you can check every number.

Wasted Ad Spend

Campaigns spending more than they return, measured against the breakeven ROAS you actually need to be profitable — not an industry average.

spend × (1 − ROAS ÷ breakeven), per campaign

Return / Refund Leakage

The margin lost on returns above what is normal for your category. Counts product value only — the courier cost of the same parcel is measured separately.

(actual − benchmark) × orders × AOV × cost impact

Inventory Leakage

What dead stock, overstocking, stockouts, shrinkage and expiring batches quietly cost every month. The capital locked in unsold and excess stock is reported separately.

holding cost + lost margin + shrinkage + write-off

Vendor Overcharge

What you pay for packaging, raw material and services against two or three real market quotes for the identical spec.

(your cost − market cost) × monthly volume

Operational Cost Creep

Subscriptions, tools and services still being paid for and no longer actively used. Found in a bank statement, not a guess.

Logistics, RTO & Returns

Courier overcharge against market rates, plus the real cost of every parcel that comes back — and the capital locked while it is in transit.

No spam. Your figures stay in your browser — we only receive the summary.

We estimated 4 of your 6 leak areas.

The other two cannot be honestly guessed from six inputs — they need your documents. That is what the full diagnostic does:

  • Vendor / Supplier OverchargeNeeds your supplier invoices benchmarked against 2–3 market quotes for the same spec.
  • Operational Cost CreepNeeds a subscription and bank-statement audit to find what is paid for but unused.

The method

Four different rupee figures. We never blur them together.

Most “savings” pitches collapse these into one big number. Keeping them apart is what makes a diagnostic trustworthy — and what makes the recovery figure mean something when it arrives.

Identified Leakage
Money measurably leaving the business right now, calculated from your data. This is the headline figure — and it is not a promise of savings.
Potentially Recoverable
The share of identified leakage judged realistically fixable, decided only after reviewing evidence — one deliberate judgement per leak area, each written down. Always smaller than identified leakage.
Actual Recovery
What was genuinely recovered after the fixes were made and measured. Tracked per action, so the estimate is held accountable rather than forgotten.
Inventory Capital Locked
One-time capital sitting in unsold stock. Reported separately and never added to annual profit leakage — releasing capital is not the same as earning profit.
