Erik – we would absolutely LOVE to tell you this is an automated process, but it’s 100% manual each month. It takes upwards of 80-100 hours a month to compile and crunch the data. Joe’s spreadsheet is now on column CE in Excel.. haha!

Love what you guys are doing! How did you measure the data? I’m assuming you didn’t do it manually, so are there any tools available?
