What the calculator measures

Branch-level leakage. Platform-level impact.

I.

Call abandonment revenue

Every abandoned call at a typical HVAC brand is $350, $900 of lost ticket value. Multiplied across 3-12 brands, the platform number is meaningful.

II.

After-hours capacity gap

The 6pm, 9pm evening window and weekend emergencies where booked rate drops 40%+. Translated into missed emergency premium revenue.

III.

Tech-dispatch optimization

Routing, upsell prompts, and skill-matching in real time. Typical 6-11% revenue lift on same capacity.

IV.

Multi-brand FSM fragmentation

Each acquired brand running a different FSM (ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Housecall Pro) is a real integration cost. Calculator doesn't automate this, it just tells you the number.

V.

EBITDA → exit-multiple translation

The number your sponsor cares about. We apply your target exit multiple to the EBITDA recovered; output is total enterprise value impact.

Who built this calculator

Brandon · Principal, ColabContent

Boston-based. 40+ commissions shipped. Three home-services platform commissions including a PE-backed HVAC roll-up ($68M platform, 7 brands), call-abandonment dropped from 28% to 6% in 5 weeks; EBITDA impact recognized in the next board deck.

This calculator speaks PE-operator language because that's the only buyer in this vertical. If you're a stand-alone brand owner without a sponsor, your math is different, tell us in the booking.

The house position
"Your sponsor will fund this out of the EBITDA-improvement line before you finish the sentence, if you show them the exit-multiple math, not the tool feature list."
