WE 10/4 · 27844 + September DC
Operations data advanced one week to WE 10/4; the YTD customer tables, weekly trend arrays and billable-resource ranking are refreshed through 10/4; the pipeline window rolls to Oct 11 – Jan 9 on the 10/9 export (the book is unchanged from 10/5). Diagnostic Controls advanced to September — a five-week month on the P&L calendar (WE 9/6 through WE 10/4; every practice's September Summary sums all five); January–August was re-verified against all five files to the dollar before September was written. WE 10/4 printed a Green Line of +$15,803.62 — the third consecutive week above the $15K baseline, clearing it by $804 (3 of 4 weeks graded at the new line; 22nd-best of 40), after +$25,013 at 9/27. The arithmetic: gross profit of $71,344 against total operating costs of $55,540 (identity check passes). Funded sales fell 7.6% to $225,010 — a mid-table week (21st of 40, against the 40-week average of $230K) — and gross margin compressed to 31.7% (lowest since 9/13) as direct costs fell only $2,835 to $153,666 (68.3% of revenue); gross profit dropped $15,736 to $71,344. The operating line helped: staff payroll eased to $46,678 with $10,013 of commission (vs $15,133), the Madison fee fell to $6,188, and chargebacks were a wash ($828 held, $828 released) — operating costs fell $6,527 to $55,540, so the Green Line gave up $9,209 against a $15,736 drop in GP. The week had one dominant line: Zones Starbucks $58,151 at 37.2% — its second-largest week ever and a fourth consecutive week ($23,659 → $19,413 → $28,309 → $58,151; 26% of company revenue; YTD $244,031 at 41.0%). Around it: Park Place Technologies $33,800 at 33.1% (YTD $1,074,982); Unisys CSH $23,511 at 16.1%; Unisys Corporation Field $19,025 at 33.1% (off the $27,848 two weeks ago); Black Box Meta $13,349 at 30.6%; SHI International $12,285 at 40.5%; MCPC - Meijer $7,017 and MCPc Incorporated $6,060 (best week in eight); Unisys Corporation Projects $7,601 at 7.3%. SHI-Geico printed $0 again — $71,329 → $9,382 → $0 → $18,546 → $0 — the watch item reopens; YTD $1,057,037 is unchanged. Three cost-only lines this week: Zones-McD Edge −$3,400 (second straight week of cost with no revenue; YTD $34,204 at 19.3% after the two cost-only weeks), NSC Global-Santander −$668 on $24 of revenue, and Black Box - Network Services −$207 on $3,055 (from $16,623). Zones-Edge Dispatch held at $4,852 at 37.5% (YTD $12,290); Hays-Cognizant billed $1,270 at 19.2%. AR: the aging balance bounced $91,363 back to $2,249,999 after the −$138K week, but gross dilution fell again to 4.26% (lowest since WE 2/1) and the Madison reserve dropped $6,901 to $95,850 (lowest since WE 3/1) — two weeks net −$46,755; eight-week change +$438,559. Balance up with reserve and dilution down is the collections-in-progress pattern, not the August one. Ongoing Unisys slipped to $52,896 (23.5% share), below the 25–35% band again, on five of eight lines (Dell Backlog, Omnicomm and Delaware North POS quiet a third week); Field Nation cost rose to $67,160 (29.8% of billings, highest share since 9/13) at a +29.0% sub margin on $94,618 of FN revenue — the Starbucks week ran through FN; Billable Resources 61 (unchanged). Two-source confirm: Job Profitability ties to 27844 funded to the cent ($225,009.88); Item Profitability is $225.95 below it — last week's $150 gap did not persist. YTD Green Line stands at $817,526 over 40 weeks (avg $20,438/wk; 16 of 40 above the per-week line) on funded of $9,212,918 and GP of $3,023,474 at 32.8% blended GM. September Diagnostic Controls: Company DC Net Income $233,056 (21.0% NM) on $1,109,242 of gross revenue — the fourth-best month of nine and within $527 of August ($233,583), on the third-highest revenue month of the year ($1.11M; five weeks, WE 9/6 – 10/4). Projects $118,990 at 28.3% NM on $420,023 (35.5% GM); Staffing $78,919 (26.6%) — its second-best month of 2026 on $296,396; ITO $14,197 (12.1% — a third month below 15%); Dispatch $10,102 (8.1% — corp EE $33,125 against $43,227 GP, the fifth month flagged); Zones $10,848 (7.2% NM) — $151,353 of revenue at 32.8% GM (the biggest month since the Zones P&L began in May) against $38,814 of corporate EE costs, its highest cost month yet. YTD Jan–Sep NI $1,906,462 (20.6%). The pipeline book is unchanged at $20.86M gross / $8.18M weighted (80 deals) — the 10/9 export is identical to 10/5. In-window (Oct 11 → Jan 9) weighted is $2.98M (44 active / 20 hot, avg $228.9K/wk): four January-2027 starts entered the window (Black Box Wal-Mart, SHI Kirkland & Ellis, SHI-Arbella, Unisys Phase 3 Dispatch) while Zones-McD slid to $802K as the Jul–Dec contract rolls out — the final week of the window (Jan 3) carries only $124K. Hygiene unchanged: the "EDGE" placeholder, Zones-Ulta ×2, Zones IT services at two stages, and the Stefanini Ontario row with no salesperson.
