Check the tasks behind a weak margin rather than assuming the estimate was sufficient.
A margin report is not a measure of code quality or developer productivity. Unrecorded costs remain outside it.

Questions about profitability for software consultancies
- Should I record non-billable bug fixes?
- Yes, if you want to understand delivery cost. Non-billable work still uses your team’s time. Record it consistently and check the project’s cost rates before relying on its margin.
- Should I leave non-billable defect work out of profitability?
- Keep genuine project effort recorded with the correct billable setting. Omitting that time can hide the cost of supporting what you delivered.
