Payback
The cost of SkillSync is almost always less than 5% of the tangible value generated for the Customer. Some examples assuming the work year at 220 days:

Chain of Logic: Cost Baseline → Commercial Structure (sets price per hour) → Productivity Gain (sets extra billable hours) → Incremental Revenue → Payback vs. SkillSync Cost.
*the € 40 is the margin/markup the company adds on top of its own cost — worth labeling explicitly as "Commercial Markup" or "Margin per Hour" in the model so it's not confused with the cost itself.
