Forecast basis · where the Base numbers come from

Opening cash $918,000 · configured bank balance · week 1 starts 2026-05-25 Example
AR collections no opening AR pool
New invoicing $2,180,000/month Estimated
Collection lag 8 weeks Example
Supplier payments $1,787,600/month Estimated
Payment lag 6 weeks Example
Scheduled one-offs 0 payments · 1 receipts in the window Example

Simplifications: no seasonality signal — new invoicing modelled at a flat run-rate; downside collection haircut is the conservative default (0.70×), not derived from observed variance

Direct method: receipts = AR aging buckets × the collection curve + recurring / new-invoicing run-rate at the observed collection lag + dated one-off receipts. Payments = weekly cost run-rate + DPO-timed supplier spend + dated one-offs. A selected scenario re-times and re-sizes these streams per its drivers — it is never a statistical band.
