Prepared for: Pelican Point Outfitters (fictional example) · Operate+ · July 2026 · delivered August 4
Unused hours are stated rather than quietly absorbed, and they do not roll into next month — that's the trade for a fixed fee you can budget against. If a month runs over, we tell you before the work happens and it's quoted at $95/hour, approved in writing. There has never been a surprise line on a Southern Tide Media invoice and there isn't going to be one.

The escalated item has been open for three weeks and is blocked on a third party, not on us. It stays on this report, with its age visible, until it closes. A report where everything is finished every month is a report that has been curated.
Two automation failures were caught and fixed this month, both caused by a platform update on July 22 that silently broke a field mapping. Nobody would have noticed from inside the business until the numbers looked wrong at month end — which is most of what this line item is for. Three licensed seats are going unused: worth a conversation about whether you're paying for chairs nobody sits in.
Every Managed CRM engagement gets this report monthly, written by the person doing the work. Your CRM account, your records and your credentials stay in your name throughout — including if we part ways. Questions about yours take a reply, not a meeting.
