Cash composition (13-week totals)

New invoicing collected 4,263,279
Payroll & overhead 819,030
Supplier payments 3,967,092
Inventory replenishment 107,920

Forecast basis · where the Base numbers come from

Opening cash $742,000 · configured bank balance · week 1 starts 2026-05-25 Example
AR collections no opening AR pool
New invoicing $1,420,000/month Estimated
Collection lag 7 weeks Example
Supplier payments $1,079,200/month Estimated
Payment lag 5 weeks Example
Scheduled one-offs 0 payments · 0 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.
