RetainerRadar
Why This is an Opportunity
Retainer management is a specific, painful problem that generic time trackers don't solve well. The visual gauge concept is satisfying to build and agencies would pay for it instantly.
Key Pain Points
- •You check your hours on the 28th and realize you blew past the retainer limit two weeks ago
- •Generic time trackers show total hours but don't map them against retainer budgets with clear warnings
- •You're essentially subsidizing your worst clients because you don't have visibility into who's eating extra hours
- •Having the 'we need to talk about hours' conversation with a client is brutal when you don't have clean data to back it up
Original Discovery
Agencies on retainer deals constantly over-service clients without realizing it until the month is over and they've burned 40 hours on a 20-hour retainer. RetainerRadar is a dead-simple hour tracker per client per month with a big, beautiful gauge that goes from green to yellow to red. When you're at 80% of hours, it emails you. When you're over, it shows exactly where the time went. No more giving away free work.
