Data

Where every number comes from

Monks' internal systems aren't public, so each source below is a best guess to confirm in the first 30 days. The app reads every source through one adapter. Connecting a real system replaces that adapter, and no page has to change.

Read-only by design. Connectors run on the server with the narrowest read scopes. They never write back to the ERP, the planner or ad platforms, and individual pay is only ever shown to a browser unlocked with the edit key.

Finance & P&L

Sample · syncing
S4Capital group ERP / GLBilling & ARFP&A plan

Assumed S4Capital reports net revenue by practice, so a cost-center P&L for the unit should exist in the group ERP.

How the numbers are calculated

Contribution margin
(Net revenue − direct labor − freelance − tools & AI) ÷ net revenue. Group overhead is not allocated.
Account health
Weighted mean of relationship 35%, performance 30%, delivery 20%, financial 15%. Missing parts are left out. Below 70% completeness the status is Unknown. Any part under 60 caps the status at Watch.
Booked capacity
Booked hours ÷ available hours (40 per week less time off; 24 in Thanksgiving week). Over 105% across the next four weeks counts as overloaded.
Hit rate and win rate
Hit rate is the share of new concepts that beat the account's control on its primary KPI. Win rate counts read tests only. A win needs 90%+ confidence.
Wearing out
The primary signal (CTR, hook rate or IPM) is down 15%+ over its window at frequency above 3.
Decisions on Today
Rules over the data: renewal risk inside 60 days of notice, margin 8+ points under target, a discipline over 100% booked, freelance over budget, winners wearing out, large proposals due within 10 days, invoices over 60 days, client reviews stuck 6+ days, QA under target, and reqs open 60+ days with little pipeline.
