The unbilled hours reducing the value of your work

Create tasks or categories for coordination, meetings, revisions, administration and delivery. You do not need to bill every one; first you need to know how much time they represent.

Recording an hour does not force you to invoice it. It lets you decide with evidence whether it belongs in scope, is absorbed as a commercial cost or needs an additional line item.

When a type of work repeats, include it in the estimate, set a revision limit or explain how out-of-scope requests will be handled from the start.
