Inputs (fill-in blanks)
Labor rate (billable): ___/hr (use $142.82/hr as national reference point) Identifix
Avg hours consumed per comeback: ___ hrs
Comebacks per month: ___
Parts/material average per comeback: ___
Output
Monthly burn = (rate × hours × comebacks) + parts
Breakeven = prevent 1 comeback / month (often enough to justify a proof system)
To support the concept of comeback-costing (not your specific numbers), you can cite established “cost of comebacks” framing tools. Autobody News+1
KITKRA is the throughput multiplier
Training creates capability; KITKRA keeps execution clean under real-world pressure.
KITKRA outcomes
Faster troubleshooting turnaround (less downtime)
Better consistency (same proof every job)
Less rework drift (disciplined versioning of SOPs)
