Achieved hourly rate by slice and by month.
How to use it
Use Average Rate Analysis in quarterly reviews to test whether rate increases are holding. A falling average rate in a specific office or discipline, despite a standard-rate increase, typically signals that work is being recorded at written-down rates. Drill from Slice into individual Project rows in the table to find which projects are dragging the average down. Since there's no separate invoiced-rate or variance figure on this page, use the monthly trend line itself to spot a decline, and pair with Rates Analysis in the Finance module for the fuller standard vs. charged vs. invoiced rate breakdown.
