Portfolio Triage Review
Revenue tells you what people bought. Contribution per constrained hour tells you what to stop.
What it is
The review most owners postpone until a bad year forces it: what to stop. Ranks every line on contribution per hour of the people who are actually scarce, issues four verdicts with the reasoning attached, makes the losing line that earns its place say what it earns and until when, then sequences the wind-down so the cut does not open a hole. Ends where these reviews fail: the freed capacity assigned in writing before it evaporates. For founders and general managers running more lines than attention.
What you receive
an evidence-based decision about what to stop — every product, service and client line ranked on true contribution per constrained hour rather than revenue, one of four verdicts per line with its reasoning, a capped and dated written override wherever a losing line stays, a wind-down sequenced so no revenue hole opens, and the freed money and hours reassigned by name with the review date that stops a fix living forever
