This capability inherits the Client Delivery Coordinator's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Resource Allocation solves the problem that staffing lands late. In services, SaaS, subscription, marketplace, and eCommerce companies of 100 to 1000 employees, a delivery lead can lose days deciding who works which engagement, and when staffing slips the milestone slips with it. This capability gives the lead a ready staffing proposal for each engagement, with conflicts already surfaced, so the decision is a quick yes or an informed adjustment rather than a from-scratch puzzle. It is for delivery leaders who own capacity and need staffing to keep pace with the pipeline. The workflow follows a clear order. It reads the engagement need, including role profile, hours, and the delivery window. It matches that need against the staffing calendar and the resourcing model. It proposes assignments, drawing on the capacity map, skill tags, and the engagement pipeline. It flags conflicts on the proposal so risk is visible up front. Then it logs the result. It operates inside your project tool, time-tracking, resource-planning, and messaging systems, so proposals reach the lead in the tools already in use. Per engagement it produces one staffing proposal with conflict flags attached. Governance is built into the path. The logic uses resourcing-model rules, capacity thresholds, and skill-match rules to propose an assignment, flag a conflict, or route to the lead. It does not force contested decisions through on its own: over-allocation, key-person risk, or client-requested staffing escalates to the delivery lead for the decision. That keeps capacity tradeoffs and named-person commitments with a human who owns them. Every proposal and flag is logged and reviewable, so allocation choices can be audited later. Typical fit requires that the resourcing model is agreed, the staffing calendar is current, and the skill-tag taxonomy is documented. This capability handles 25-30% of the role's volume, and 25-35% of the role's impact is staffing-lead-time compression and capacity discipline. On its primary measure, staffing lead time, it targets 50-70% faster.

When this capability shows up
Patterns where resource allocation is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Mid-market services firm with project-tool backbone
Services · 200-500
500 / mo
A 300-person services firm runs 500 project events a month across intake, staffing, and reporting. Scopes drift between sales and delivery. Staffing conflicts surface in standup not in planning.
Client Delivery Coordinator activates intake and resource allocation. Scopes land with disciplined checklists; staffing proposals surface with conflicts pre-flagged; delivery leads shift time to client-sensitive calls.
Expected outcomes at this volume: engagement-intake cycle down 50-65%, staffing lead time 50-70% faster, delivery-lead hours recovered weekly.

Professional-services arm of a SaaS business with tight milestone rhythm
SaaS · 300-800
1,200 / mo
The professional-services arm of a 600-person SaaS business runs 1200 events a month across implementations. Client reports lag milestones. Time entries miss the invoicing window. Utilization reporting is always a week stale.
Client Delivery Coordinator activates all four capabilities. Intake runs disciplined; staffing lands on time; client reports ship on cadence; time-tracking nudges and approvals clear the invoicing window.
Expected outcomes: cycle-time reduction 50-65%, client-report on-time rate above 95%, time-entry compliance rising, invoicing window held.

Upper-mid consultancy with shared resource pool and tight utilization target
Services · 500-1000
2,000 / mo
An 800-person consultancy runs 2000 project events a month across twelve practices sharing a single resource pool. Staffing conflicts surface late. Time-entry compliance swings with the week. Utilization reports are always a cycle behind.
Client Delivery Coordinator activates all four capabilities. Intake runs disciplined; staffing proposals surface with conflicts pre-flagged against the shared pool; client reports ship on cadence; time-tracking nudges and approvals clear the invoicing window.
Expected outcomes: cycle-time reduction 50-65%, staffing lead time 50-70% faster, time-entry compliance rising, utilization reporting current to the week.
