The Support Burden Calculator
How many support hours will each client require per month? Estimate support hours per client and compare the total with available capacity and target economics. Two hours per client per month can be an illustrative stress-test input, not a universal viability cutoff.

“How many support hours will each client require per month?”
Estimate support hours per client and compare the total with available capacity and target economics. Two hours per client per month can be an illustrative stress-test input, not a universal viability cutoff.
Ignoring support and rework when modeling unit economics, then learning too late that delivery capacity is constrained.
In an illustrative scenario, 20 clients × 4 monthly support hours equals 80 hours of workload. Compare that result with actual staff capacity, service levels, and labor cost before changing the operating model.
