Understanding Resource Split
What the Resource Split is, how Kuvi measures it automatically, and why it's the one number most agencies can't see.
The Resource Split is Kuvi's signature feature. It answers a question most small tech companies can't easily answer: how much of our team actually went to client Service work versus building our own Product?
Why it matters
If you do both client work and your own product, the two constantly compete for the same people. Without a clear split, product work quietly gets squeezed — and you only notice months later when the product hasn't moved.
Where the numbers come from
You never fill in a form or maintain a spreadsheet. The split is measured from work already happening in Kuvi:
- Every task is tagged Service (client-funded) or Product (internal).
- Each task carries an estimated effort in hours.
- Kuvi weights the tags by that effort to derive the actual split — so a large task counts for more than a quick one.
Because it's derived, it updates on its own as your team works. There is nothing to report and nothing to reconcile by hand.
The committed target
In settings you can set a committed Service target — the share of effort you intend to keep on client work. Kuvi compares the measured actual against it every week and tells you whether you're on track or drifting. Drift beyond ±5 points is flagged, because the split is built from estimates and small swings are just noise.
Strategic intelligence
The split tells you where capacity went. The intelligence layer on the page turns that into numbers you can act on, grounded only in data Kuvi actually owns — clocked attendance hours, task tags, and CTC — never guessed cash forecasts:
- Billable utilization — the share of paid hours that landed on Service.
- Product investment — the labour cost flowing into Product, as a monthly run-rate.
- Unattributed capacity — paid hours Kuvi couldn't tie to tagged work, so you can see coverage gaps honestly rather than have them hidden.
Alongside the numbers, Kuvi writes plain-language advisory notes — for example, a nudge to review your roadmap if Product investment is running ahead of your committed Service target.
Resource Split is a decision-maker surface. By default only admins and managers can open it; you can extend access to a finance role through roles & permissions. Team members don't see it — they stay focused on their tasks.
