Identify Your Performance Challenge

Select the business outcome category that best describes the challenge you want to examine during today’s MasterClass. This does not diagnose the cause. The lever work will help you do that.

Productivity & Efficiency

Work takes longer than expected, delays occur frequently, or output is lower than desired.

Quality & Accuracy

Errors, rework, defects, or inconsistencies are impacting performance.

Employee Engagement & Retention

Challenges related to morale, burnout, turnover, or retaining talent.

Customer Experience & Service

Customer satisfaction, responsiveness, service quality, or stakeholder experience concerns.

Growth & Capacity

Difficulty scaling, managing workload, supporting growth, or meeting increasing demand.

Execution & Accountability

Plans are not consistently executed, priorities compete, or teams struggle to follow through.

Describe the performance challenge in 3–5 sentences.

Step 9 of 10

Estimate the Performance Leakage

Now that you have reviewed all six levers, estimate the scope of the performance challenge using the best information available to you today.

Your performance challenge will appear here.

How many employees are directly affected by this challenge?

On average, how many hours per week does each affected employee lose because of this challenge?

Which compensation input are you using?

Enter the average wage or salary amount. If using salary, the tool converts to an hourly estimate using 2,080 annual work hours.

How many weeks per year does this challenge meaningfully affect work? Use 52 if this is a year-round issue. Use fewer weeks if the issue is seasonal or periodic.

How specific is the data you entered?

How this directional estimate will be calculated

The estimate uses this basic labor leakage formula:

Employees affected × hours lost per week × hourly compensation × weeks impacted

JL³ then applies a conservative adjustment to avoid overstating impact. The report displays an estimate range and confidence level, not a precise financial audit number.

Before generating the Executive Brief, confirm that the information entered reflects your best understanding of the performance challenge at this time.

I confirm that the information entered reflects my best understanding of the situation at this time. I understand that the JL³ Performance Leak Estimator™ provides a directional estimate based on participant-provided information and conservative calculation assumptions.
