Estimation Methodology

These estimates use industry benchmarks: dead stock at 8–12% of inventory value for distributors with your SKU count, emergency freight at 2.5x normal rates, tariff exposure estimated from country-of-origin data for common categories, safety stock bloat from lead time variance benchmarks, and reorder gap cost from stockout frequency models. The $19/mo full report replaces these estimates with your actual SKU-level data.

2–8% revenue loss

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the Cost Leak Finder analyze?
Five categories: (1) Dead stock — slow-moving inventory tying up working capital, (2) Emergency order premiums — paying 2–3× normal freight to cover reorder gaps, (3) Tariff exposure — products sourced from high-tariff countries with cost spikes possible, (4) Safety stock bloat — excess buffer from unreliable suppliers driving holding costs, (5) Reorder gap cost — stockouts between order cycles causing lost sales.
What data do I need to enter?
Just 6 numbers from your business: annual revenue, SKU count, gross margin %, emergency order %, and average supplier lead time in weeks. Takes under 2 minutes. No spreadsheet upload needed for the estimate — the $19/mo full report goes deeper with your actual SKU-level data.
Is this $19 a one-time payment or a subscription?
It's a $19/month subscription that includes ongoing monitoring, not a one-time report. Cancel any time. Many customers leave it active to catch new leaks as their inventory mix changes throughout the year.
How accurate is the free estimate vs the full report?
The free estimate uses industry benchmarks applied to your inputs — directionally accurate and shows which categories have the most exposure. The $19/mo full report uses your actual SKU-level data, supplier countries, and shipping lanes for dollar-specific findings rather than ranges.
Who is this tool best suited for?
SMB distributors and manufacturers with 50–500 SKUs who suspect they have a cost problem but aren't sure where to start. If you're not sure you have a cost problem, the free estimate is the fastest path to finding out — the $19/mo report gives you the specifics to act on.
