01 — REALITY

You're tracking hours.
You should be tracking your exit.

Harvest, Toggl, Clockify — they all answer "how many hours did the team work?" None of them answer "is the founder closer to being out of the business or further away?"

62%
average founder time spent in delivery at agencies under €1M — the trap that prevents scaling.
€0
that any time-tracking tool gives you toward understanding cash conversion cycle across your engagement portfolio.
8h
per week the average agency owner spends reconciling timesheets to invoices in spreadsheets at month-end.

Hours alone don't tell you anything. Hours mapped against 4D Mix, retainer burn, and Founder Extraction Score do.

02 — INSIDE

Time tracking,
with a strategic lens.

One-click timers. Project rates. Retainer burn alerts. Auto-invoice prep. And on top — the analytics layer that turns hours into a verdict on whether the agency is becoming founder-optional.

Founder Extraction Score

A single number — what % of your time is NOT spent on direct delivery. Target: 80+. The number quietly predicts whether you can ever take a month off.

4D Mix Analysis

Doing / Deciding / Delegating / Designing. The shift from mostly-Doing to mostly-Designing is the entire arc of becoming founder-optional.

Retainer Burn

Set monthly hour allocations per client. Real-time burn rate. Alerts before overages. Clients can see their own usage if you want them to.

Cash Conversion Cycle

Track time-to-cash by engagement type. The same hour billed differently has wildly different cash impact. CCC is the cure for invisible cash drag.
03 — WHAT YOU GET

Everything to track and reshape
how the agency spends time.

Eight capabilities that bring time, profitability, and founder extraction into one surface.

F01

One-Click Timers

Start, stop, switch — keyboard shortcut on every screen. Auto-pause on idle. Detects forgotten timers before they ruin a week.

F02

4D Mix Categorization

Every entry tagged Doing / Deciding / Delegating / Designing. Bulk-recategorize, AI-suggest, manually override. The category IS the strategic insight.

F03

Project Rates & Burn

Different rates per engagement, per role, per service line. Effective hourly rate per client. The number that quietly tells you which clients to fire.

F04

Retainer Management

Monthly allocations, rollover rules, overage alerts. Renewal pipeline. Branded client portal showing their burn (optional).

F05

Founder Extraction Score

Track your trajectory toward founder-optional. FES = 100 minus your Doing %. Chart it over months. Set a quarterly target.

F06

Cash Conversion Cycle

Hours → invoice → payment. See which service lines pay the fastest, which retainer terms protect cash flow, which clients are quietly bleeding you.

F07

Team Utilization

Per-person billable %, capacity heat-maps, 4D Mix by team member. Spot who's overloaded and who has runway, by service line.

F08

Free to Start

FREE TIER

Track your own time for free. Team features and the strategic analytics layer unlock on Growth.

04 — HOW IT WORKS

From your first logged hour
to a founder-extraction trajectory.

Start with the timer. The 4D Mix lens builds itself as you tag entries. The FES trend emerges over weeks.

01

Track One Day

Install the timer. Track today. One day of categorized hours is enough to see your 4D Mix for the first time.
02

Define Service Lines & Rates

Tell FIKR what you charge per service line, per role. Effective hourly rate per client is now a live number, not a spreadsheet.
03

Add Retainers

Set monthly hour allocations per retainer client. Burn rate alerts kick in before overages eat your margin.
04

Watch the Trajectory

Week by week, your Founder Extraction Score moves. The chart shows whether you're building a business or a bigger trap.
05 — WHY FIKR

06 — FAQs

Questions? Answers.

What makes this different from Harvest or Toggl?
Those tools track hours. FIKR Tracking tracks your transformation. The 4D Mix and Founder Extraction Score show whether you're moving toward a scalable business or building a bigger trap. No other tool connects time to strategy.
What is the 4D Mix?
A framework for categorizing how founders and teams spend time: Doing (delivery), Deciding (management), Delegating (building team capacity), Designing (strategic/visionary work). The goal is to shift from mostly Doing to mostly Designing — the arc of becoming founder-optional.
What is the Founder Extraction Score?
FES measures how much of your time is spent on non-delivery work. Calculated as 100 minus your Doing %. Target: 80 or higher — meaning 80% of your time on strategic, management, and delegation work, not personal delivery.
How does retainer management work?
Set monthly hour allocations per client. Track burn rate in real time, manage rollover hours, get alerts before overages happen. Optional client portal lets retainer clients see their own usage.
Does it integrate with FIKR Money for invoicing?
Yes. Tracked hours flow directly into FIKR Money invoices. No CSV exports, no Zapier between tools — same data layer.
Can I track team time, not just mine?
Absolutely. See every team member's utilization, 4D Mix, billable percentage. Identify who's overloaded and who has capacity, by service line.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Track your own time for free. Team features and the strategic analytics layer (FES trend, CCC, retainer burn alerts) unlock on Growth.
