Embedded Margin Split

Embedded Margin Split is the practice of pricing an embedded analytics build as two separate things: a one-time integration fee and a recurring analytics line inside the client's subscription. Agencies that quote the whole thing as a fixed project absorb every dashboard request into the original scope, so margin falls as usage grows. The split forces a boundary: the integration is delivered once, then each new dashboard, data source, or natural-language query surface is a change order or a retainer add-on. Luzmo's 40+ connectors and multi-tenant security mean the plumbing is largely configuration rather than custom engineering, which is exactly what makes the recurring line defensible. Qrvey's multi-tenant data lake management plays the same role for agencies whose clients need per-tenant isolation. The framework matters because embedded analytics is sold to clients as a product feature, and product features get maintained forever. Price accordingly from day one.
