What you'll learn

Where you collect less before revenue drops

Write-downs and work past the quote. Clients pay less for work AI made faster, while revenue still looks fine.

The share of each fee you still collect

By service, it can fall while the rate card stays exactly where it is.

A slow quarter, or a lasting AI price cut

What a real warning looks like in your numbers, next to an ordinary slow quarter.

Why this topic matters

Clients rarely ask you to lower the rate because of AI. They pay for fewer of the hours, question more of the invoice, and compare you with someone cheaper without saying why. You can see it in your numbers, by service, before a client says it. Bring the last eight quarters by service: what you’d normally charge and what came in. In 30 minutes you’ll see whether an AI price cut is already there. Deciding what to do about it is longer work.
