What this may suggest
- A high per-replacement cost often points to onboarding time rather than recruiting spend.
- Use the sensitivity view to see what retention improvements could mean — then investigate why people leave.
- Direct costs are modeled from your entries; compare against costs actually incurred in your records.
- Revenue capacity is gross and hypothetical — it depends on demand, authorizations, staffing and collection.
