Where the margin comes from

Every figure is editable. The chips under each Bill field show the rate that clears target margin at that line's cost — click to apply. The numbers that make this accurate to EMBR live in Assumptions & policy: owned-gear carrying cost, overhead, labor burden, and target margin. Calibrate those once.
