RatioLab

Overview

A benchmarking project that studies how staff ratios, project duration, subcontractor mix, and market segment affect indirect cost reliability.

Goals

• Understand what drives indirect cost reliability across projects.
• Quantify the effect of staffing ratios, duration, and subcontractor mix.
• Establish defensible benchmarks by market segment.

Approach

• Assemble a benchmarking dataset across projects and segments.
• Model indirect cost reliability against the candidate drivers.
• Report effect sizes and segment-level benchmarks.

Status

🚧 In progress. A full write-up — methodology, results, and code — is coming soon.
