Realization rate is the difference between how much was billed for job and how much should have been billed [based on number of man hours used to deliver the job] expressed as a ratio.

To compete and thrive in a competitive market, law firms need to translate chargeable hours into revenue as quickly as possible. Keeping track of all billable work and getting paid in a reasonable timeframe is key to your survival. This makes realisation rates; the amount of work compared to how earnings are realised, one of the most important metrics your firm can track. It has a direct impact on the revenue and profitability of law firms.

The problem with the price oriented or directed approach to yield is that it is uni-dimensional. It only considers the price aspect of revenues which clearly are achieved through a constantly see-sawing bookkeeping for startups battle for balance in price as well as volume. Most critically, the price approach to yield fails to consider the umbilical cord relationship between price and volume.
