  • Patent number: 7756738
    Abstract: A computer-implemented project-based point system for professional services uses a database including a list of professional employees, a menu of project codes, and an assignment of a point value to each of the project codes. The method calculates total points earned by a professional by adding point values assigned to project codes of completed projects, which may be billable and/or non-billable projects. The calculated total points earned by the professional may be compared to a point requirement, whereby the performance of the professional may be evaluated. In addition, the method may calculate a total charge to a client for professional services by adding fixed fees assigned to project codes of completed billable projects.
