NONPROFITS, EDUCATION & ASSOCIATIONS
What could your mission do with this back?
For a mission-driven organization, recovered spend isn't margin. It's programs, staff and services that were about to be cut.
| K-9 independent day school | $69.1K / year |
| Private college | $100K+ / year |

| National nonprofit retailer | $548K / year |
| Nonprofit, Denver | $2.8M / year returned to mission |
HOSPITALITY, FOOD SERVICE & FRANCHISE
What about thin margins and high turnover?
On a 3 to 5% net margin, this is the difference between a profitable unit and a break-even one.
| Historic inn and restaurant | $174K / year |
| Boutique hotel and restaurant | $175K / year |
| 11 quick-service restaurant franchise operators | $60K to $468K each, per year |
Eleven separate franchise operators, eleven separate results. The lowest was $60,000 a year. The highest was $468,000.
ENTERPRISE & PRIVATE EQUITY
What happens at scale?
The ratio holds. The absolute numbers stop being comfortable.
| Fortune 50 healthcare, three separate engagements | $10 to $20M each, in 6 months |
| Global technology company | $40M in 3 months |
| Same company, team we trained | $100M in 6 months |
| Fortune 50 program, competitor quoted at $2M over 12 months | Delivered in 4 months for pennies on the dollar |
| Same program, revenue unlocked | $500M+ |
| Enterprise vendor rationalization | $15M+ |
| Building and safety contractor | $1.91M per year |
| Major farming organization | $1.1M per year |
| Private equity firm | $1M+ per year |
| EdTech company | 65% cost reduction |
For private equity, $1 of bottom-line savings can be $8 of equivalent valuation at an 8x EBITDA multiple. $1M of savings turns a $100M valuation into $108M.
HOW TO READ THIS
What do these have in common?
Different industries, different sizes, different funding types. In every case the savings recur annually, nothing was cut, nobody was laid off, and no employee lost a benefit. Most of these organizations believed their costs were already optimized.
The pattern isn't the industry. It's that nobody had looked in these places.
What would your number look like next to these?
The analysis costs nothing and comes back in days. Bring your trusted advisors.
