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
Time Tracking Compliance closes the leak where time entries trickle in after invoicing. In services, SaaS, subscription, marketplace, and eCommerce companies of 100 to 1000 employees, late and inconsistent time entries delay billing and force the delivery lead into chasing instead of leading. This capability keeps entry cadence on policy and surfaces only the exceptions that need a person, so the lead spends time on disputes that matter rather than routine reminders. It is for delivery leaders who own billable accuracy and want time discipline without manual follow-up, so that entries are in and approved before the invoice schedule needs them. The workflow runs in order. It watches time-entry cadence against policy. It nudges late entries through messaging, prompting the right person before the entry becomes a billing problem. It drafts approval or rejection recommendations against the policy rules. It flags exceptions to the delivery lead. Then it logs the activity. It draws on time entries, policy rules, approval history, and the invoice schedule, and it operates inside your time-tracking, messaging, and project tool. Per entry, it produces either a nudge, a drafted approval or rejection recommendation, or a flagged exception, each tied to the policy it was checked against. The decision logic is bounded. It uses time-policy thresholds, approval-history logic, and invoice-window rules to nudge, auto-approve a clean entry, or flag for the lead. It does not resolve contested billing on its own: invoice-impacting disputes, non-billable-versus-billable ambiguity, and policy-exception requests route to the delivery lead. That keeps revenue-affecting calls with a human. Every nudge, recommendation, and flag is logged and reviewable, so the approval trail stands up to audit. Typical fit requires that the time-tracking policy is documented, approval history is accessible, and the invoice schedule is connected. This capability handles 20-25% of the role's volume, and 15-25% of the role's impact is time-entry compliance and approval-cycle discipline. On its primary measure, the time-entry compliance rate, it targets above 95%.
