He talks about the concept of ”proving your model” - developing the standard operating procedures and rules needed to duplicate your successful business.

He then explains how you have to break down your business to its smallest units, giving examples like revenue per mile in trucking and billable hours in a mechanic shop. This allows you to understand your true costs and profitability so you can scale up with confidence.
