The Handover paid pilot Defend a testable proposal without overstating demand or economics.
Handover prepares job-handover packs for small service agencies.
Revenue alone does not establish that an offer is economically attractive. Work through the delivery required for one customer and identify which costs the calculation includes.
Ten packs at 45 minutes each require 7.5 hours. Adding two support hours gives 9.5 hours, costing $380 at $40 an hour. At a $600 price, $220 remains before the shared software charge and other excluded costs. That is a contribution calculation, not proof of company profitability.
Follow one argument through the debate
The calculation includes ten packs and the promised support.
What remains is contribution. Overhead and the founder’s own time still come out of it before any profit.
The shared charge is included once, and excluded costs remain explicit.
Include both production time and the support promised in the offer.
Explain which fixed and indirect costs are still outside the calculation.
Ask which change in delivery, price, or acquisition cost could alter the conclusion.

9.5 hours at $40 costs $380 per pilot.
The calculation includes ten packs and the promised support.
The $600 price leaves $220 before software and other overhead.
What remains is contribution. Overhead and the founder’s own time still come out of it before any profit.
Two pilots contribute $440 before the shared $100 monthly software charge, leaving $340 before sales, founder time, taxes, and other overhead.
The shared charge is included once, and excluded costs remain explicit.
The financial claim should say both what the calculation shows and which costs remain.

You can return to the practice whenever you want.
The estimated delivery is 9.5 hours, costing $380, so the $600 pilot contributes $220 before shared and indirect costs. That supports testing the price, but does not establish overall profitability. I would test actual time per pack first because slower delivery could consume most of the remaining contribution.
The response includes production and support rather than citing revenue alone.
Contribution and company profit remain distinct.
The proposed test targets a number that could change the price decision.
The model uses the available numbers to support a bounded commercial decision. It neither promises profitability nor refuses to act until every cost is known.
Choose one move to improve, revise your response, then try it aloud.
