On this week's update, Justin White breaks down the realities of running a service-based business in today’s environment, covering AI, client accountability, and what it really takes to stay profitable.

He also talks about the risks and rewards of holding clients accountable, especially when delays start eating into revenue.

• What financial performance really looked like month by month this year
• The hidden risks behind private equity pricing and misleading add back math
