Jonathan,
We perform ongoing QA activities like testing, creating automated tests, breaking the app, etc
We do the above for requirements that are planned per 2 weeks iteration/sprint
For this client, I have been billing an average of 200 hours per month based on the features to test
Some of the feature testing does get completed in the same month, and few are carried over to the next month
I cannot estimate what features my team would test in the coming month hence I am not able to derive a success metric
Can you pls suggest how to calculate the success metric for this situation so that I can move to value-based pricing month on monthly basis?

Do you know you need to niche down, but keep hesitating because you're afraid of picking the wrong niche, cutting off good opportunities, or boxing yourself in?
You DON'T need more convincing that vague positioning is a problem.
You DO need a way to make positioning feel less risky so you can finally choose a direction, test it in the market, and adjust without blowing up your business.
On Tuesday, September 8th, 2026, at noon Eastern Time, I'm running a live workshop called Positioning For Soloists Having A Hard Time Niching Down.
That's what we'll tackle in this workshop.
It's the second session of my Fall 2026 Soloist Growth Workshop series for expertise-based business owners just like you.
Live attendance is limited to 20, so don't wait.
