    The hourly burn of a small shop is less than a larger shop, which has the man power to justify owning the account. Though, all those individuals will be booked on other projects, so the agency will outsource to another small vendor.

    Project budget from client to agency: 250k

    Internal burn of agency (Charged to client at $150/hr): 70k
    Actual burn of agency for full time rate of employees: 16k

    Outsource cost to vendor to do majority of project, say a 4 man shop: 20k.
    Actual burn of 2 people working on that project from the vendor: 8k

    Vendor profit 12k. Sleep = 0
    Agency profit 214k - Sleep = 8 hours a night
