Hi there,
In general, the cost/revenue structure will match that of the industry. So, if you have a firm that outsources IT Developers, their costs will me significant in Labor, IT Infrastructure, etc. and their revenues will be labor hours/contracts.
Now, if the firm outsources, say, bottle manufacturing, then their costs and revenues will be entirely different (i.e. capex/factory costs, raw materials, R&D, labor, etc.)

Hi, it strongly depends on the industry. In the services (like call centers) main costs will be salaries, renting, technology, and headquarter costs
Best,
