Activity-based costing assigns overhead to products and customers by the activities they actually consume, exposing hidden cross-subsidies that volume-based costing hides. This is the Activity-Based Costing from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for activity-based costing, and it walks through everything from building the activity dictionary to customer and channel profitability and the whale curve. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
