Allometry is named for comparative biology — how parts scale against the whole. Labs is that idea applied to a market we counted one operator at a time: 10,053 North-American asset-heavy operators, enriched and scored individually. Market-structure benchmarks are live below. Operating-performance benchmarks publish vertical-by-vertical as the attested cohort matures — and we state plainly which is which.
Every card below is a named cohort inside the 10,053. Market structure is published today; performance benchmarks open per vertical once ten or more operators have twelve months of attested ledger behind them.
Enriched from a curated export and tiered by fit; the same filters on a second data universe return roughly 2× the count, so treat the list as the floor of the reachable market, not its ceiling.
| Tier | What it means | Operators | Provenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity | Fast-moving fit — the volume motion | 7,839 | counted |
| Core | The center of the ICP — $20–200M asset-heavy operators | 1,919 | counted |
| Strategic | Large, multi-entity, portfolio-shaped | 295 | counted |
| Top 500 | Prioritized cohort — where outbound runs first | 500 | counted |
Marketing benchmarks measure spend. These measure the operation itself — and because they derive from an append-only, attested ledger, a benchmark here is a number a lender can also price.
| Metric | What it tells you | Status today |
|---|---|---|
| Allometric coefficient · per SKU class | How each revenue line scales against the whole book — the claw that outgrows the crab. | live at n=1 |
| Realised price vs list | What discounting actually costs, per line, per customer. | live at n=1 |
| Floor-breach rate | Share of accepted quotes below their own SKU floor — margin given away silently. | sample workspace |
| Oversold exposure | Quantity committed beyond available stock, inside the lead time. | live at n=1 |
| DSO & AR health | Cash trapped past terms — the predicate a lender verifies without opening the books. | sample workspace |
| Entitlement leakage | Contracted-but-never-invoiced service — the maintenance revenue that quietly vanishes. | sample workspace |
Market-structure benchmarks (counts, tiers, revenue distributions) are published now: they come from a list we enriched one operator at a time, and they are labeled counted.
Operating-performance benchmarks publish per vertical only when ten or more operators have twelve or more months of attested ledger — enough for a cohort statistic that survives diligence. Today the attested cohort is one design partner (its result: $300K of unflagged margin loss surfaced, $100K captured — measured, n=1 and stated as such) plus a generated sample workspace whose figures are computed by the live engines (computed).
We would rather show you an honest n than a confident average of nothing. That is the same doctrine the product runs on: a number with missing inputs returns null, never a flattering estimate.
