Revenue Event

Definition

A single recorded instance of revenue, attached to the most granular earning unit — ideally a service, not just a project or the company.

Worked Example

Project 'Streaming Platform' revenue: $80,000/month — looks healthy.

By service:
  Video CDN        revenue $60,000   COGS $18,000   margin  70%  OK
  Live transcoding revenue $15,000   COGS $13,500   margin  10%  warning
  Archival storage revenue  $5,000   COGS  $7,200   margin -44%  LOSS

Project-level recording would have hidden a service that loses money on every sale.

Interpretation & Pitfalls

Granular attribution is the difference between knowing THAT you make money and knowing WHERE.

In TupicFinance

Revenue events attach to services by design — the modeling decision that makes per-service margin analysis possible.
