Dashboard Handoff Threshold

Dashboard Handoff Threshold is the point at which automated collection frees more hours than the platform consumes in setup, reconciliation, and client hand-holding. Below the threshold, an agency has bought a subscription and kept the same reporting labor; above it, recovered capacity funds analysis and proactive recommendations. The category description is explicit that dashboard access is not the offer, so the threshold is measured in redeployed hours, not integrations. A 12-client retainer shop pulling 6 hours of manual collection per client per month recovers roughly 72 hours monthly once a platform like AgencyAnalytics or DashThis covers its core sources, but only if reconciliation stays under about 20% of that time. NinjaCat's 150+ source coverage matters less than whether the agency's actual stack sits inside it. Benchmark the existing process first, then adopt.
