The Law To Know

Matter Economics and Pricing: A Living Map

A matter is a small business: it earns fees and spends time. Realisation and leakage show how much of the work is paid for; estimating the work uses ranges; fee structures decide who carries which risk; a fixed fee must be priced with a margin for uncertainty; staffing and leverage decide profitability; and tracking and scope change keep the plan honest. Press Play to watch the map build, click an idea for its definition and the usual trap, or trace a short case. A simplified teaching map of the general approach (mainly US law); check the law where you work.

Hover over an idea to light up what it connects to, click it for its definition, minimum requirements, an example and the usual trap, press Play to watch the map build step by step, or trace a short case through it.

Simplified teaching map, in general terms. Check the law where you work. On a small screen, scroll the map sideways.
