• Understand what this tool does
• Know what you should and should not touch
• Choose your goal before making changes
• Know what to do next

What Is This?

This is a planning tool.
It helps you test different bonus setups.

It shows how changes can impact:

• company profit
• employee bonuses
• productivity
• revenue

You are not trying to be exact.
You are trying to see what direction things move.

What To Do (Important Rules)

1. Open the Summary tab.

2. Only change the yellow fields.

How To Think About This Tool

Every change affects two things:

• how much the company makes
• how much the team earns

Your goal is to find a balance.
This tool helps you compare options.
It does not give a perfect answer.

Pick Your Goal First

Option 1: Increase Production Rates

• You want crews to get more work done.
• Use this if jobs take too long.
• 👉 If this sounds like you, use the Production Rates guide

Option 2: Increase Revenue Per Employee

• You want more revenue without hiring more people.

• Use this if you have strong demand.

• 👉 If this sounds like you, use the Revenue guide

Option 3: Run A Leaner Team

• You want to do the same work with fewer people.

• Use this if labor is tight or expensive.

• 👉 If this sounds like you, use the Leaner Team guide

What Happens Next

Once you pick a goal:

• You will follow a simple guide
• You will change a few inputs
• You will look at the results

You do not need to get it perfect.
You will adjust this over time.

If Something Feels Off

If the file looks broken
→ Stop and contact your Protiv team
