Build & Embed: the model goes live, on your data, in your hands.
Once the diagnostic proves where margin hides, Build & Embed turns it into a working system. We deploy CostCtrl on your data, build the full TDABC model, wire it to your monthly cycle, and train your team to run it. By the end, you own the model. We move from doing, to checking, to gone.
Build & Embed is the implementation phase: we deploy the CostCtrl platform on your data, build the complete TDABC cost model with its allocation chain, embed it into your monthly management cycle, and certify your finance team to run and update it independently. It typically takes six to ten weeks and ends with a model your team owns, with no system change to your ERP.
What we build, what you keep, and exactly what is handed over.
What it covers
- Deployment of CostCtrl on your own data, hosted at yourcompany.costprofit.com
- Full TDABC model: cost pools, allocation chain, time equations where the data supports them
- Customer, product, channel and service level P&L, with whale curve, treemap and heatmap
- Integration into your monthly cycle, with a repeatable ETL so the refresh takes hours
- Team certification: your finance people learn to run, read and update the model
- 100% reconciliation to your general ledger, so every number is defensible
What you get
- A living profitability model, not a one off report
- Independence: your team runs it without us
- Defensibility: every euro traces to its source
- Speed: monthly refresh in hours, not months

Common questions
Do we need to change our ERP?
No. CostCtrl runs alongside your systems, on data you already export.
How is this different from ProfitAudit 360?
ProfitAudit 360 is the fixed scope diagnostic that builds the first model and proves the case. Build & Embed deploys it as a living system your team owns and runs monthly.
Who needs to be involved on our side?
Typically finance and controlling, plus whoever exports the ERP data. We train them as we build.
What happens after Build & Embed?
Many clients continue with Advisory for ongoing reviews, or with a Fractional Controller. You can also simply run it yourself.
