Goals + KPIs
Capacity planning before revenue planning
The business has to know how much work it can sell, produce, invoice, collect, and manage without breaking.

Why it matters
Selling past the point of operational control.
Stakes
A goal should make the business easier to manage. A vague revenue number makes the team busier without explaining what has to improve.
Why it gets missed
Owners often pick a bigger number because it feels like progress. The real question is what capacity, cash, conversion, margin, and management behavior must change. In this case, the practical trap is simple: selling past the point of operational control..
Field pattern
Translate the goal into operational load. More revenue can mean more invoices, schedule pressure, receivables, supervision, hiring, equipment, and working capital before it means more owner freedom.
Numbers to watch
The metric is useful only when it changes behavior.
Crew capacity
Shows how much work the field can actually produce.
Admin capacity
Shows whether billing, scheduling, collections, and management can keep up.
Backlog
Connects promised work to delivery timing and cash demand.
Operating moves
What to make visible before the next decision.
Move 01
Map the delivery chain
Move 02
Find the tightest constraint
Move 03
Plan hires and equipment before sales targets
Owner questions
Use the brief in a real review.
1
If crew capacity moved this week, what decision would change?
2
Which person, process, or rule owns map the delivery chain?
3
What would make this number untrustworthy right now?
4
If nothing changes for 90 days, what gets harder for the owner?

Reality check
A 50% sales goal is a 50% operating-system question.
Before chasing the number, decide what has to change.
