Black women in this portfolio earn 1.65% of the value they document.
Composite extraction gap: $103.7M to $280.2M annually. One methodology. One published volume.
Composite Math
Fifteen Black women. One forensic methodology. The numbers, in full.
Every figure in the composite was extracted from a delivered Value Audit™ file. No estimates. No projections. No assumptions outside proprietary BWWL® methodology.
| Metric | Conservative Floor | Midpoint | Aggressive Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite Invoice Number™ | $105,392,000 | $193,648,000 | $281,904,000 |
| Combined current compensation | $1,737,645 | $1,737,645 | $1,737,645 |
| Composite capture rate | 1.65% | 0.90% | 0.62% |
| Composite extraction gap | $103,654,355 | $191,910,355 | $280,166,355 |
Read the bottom row twice. One hundred and three million dollars in annual extraction at the conservative floor.
What Sits Under the Glass
Three anchor audits. Twelve in the long tail. Both layers are documented.
Three audits carry the bulk of the composite. The largest carries a documented Invoice Number™ range of $38.15M to $87.50M. A second carries $26.00M to $100.00M. A third carries $15.10M to $31.40M. Together those three account for 75.2% of the conservative composite.
The remaining twelve audits contribute $26,142,000 at the conservative floor. The long tail spans healthcare payer strategy, strategic advisory, accreditation consulting, professional services, financial operations, events enterprise, healthcare operations, executive advisory, mental health practice, payroll operations, early childhood education, and DEI training with IP licensing. That distribution is forensically true and worth naming. The headline still holds. The documented value in the long tail runs into the millions for women earning five and low six figures.
