Payroll & Billing
Payroll tracks your team's work capacity and cost allocation.
Timesheets
Shows man-hours consumed over the last 30 days with detailed per-specialist breakdowns of hours worked.
Capacity
View remaining FTE-months and man-hours for each company:
- FTE-Months Remaining -- how many full-time equivalent months of work your team can still complete
- Man-Hours Remaining -- the same capacity expressed in working hours
- Budget Status -- Healthy, Low, Critical, or Exhausted
Top-Up Options
If your team needs more capacity mid-cycle, top-up tiers are available:
| Top-Up | Capacity Added |
|---|---|
| Small | 1.6 FTE-months (252 man-hours) |
| Medium | 3.5 FTE-months (556 man-hours) |
| Large | 9.6 FTE-months (1,543 man-hours) |
No commitment, no penalty -- just more hours for your team.
Salary Bands
Set capacity thresholds for different team configurations. Helps monitor hours used against planned allocations.
Budget Alerts
LeanCore monitors your budget automatically:
| Alert Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Low | Getting there, plan ahead |
| Critical | Running out, action needed soon |
| Exhausted | Out of hours, team paused |
Alerts appear in your dashboard and can be acknowledged.
Spend Protection
Built-in safeguards prevent runaway costs:
- Rate limits -- caps on how fast credits can be consumed (per minute, per hour, per day)
- Circuit breakers -- emergency stop if something goes wrong
- Anomaly detection -- flags unusual spending patterns and can automatically pause operations
