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)
30‑Day Survival Tax (60‑second reality check)
Standing still isn’t neutral. It’s a bill you pay every month.
