Forecast vs what actually happened
Accuracy over the last 5 weeks: ±8.5%Last reconciled week: −$90,169 against the forecast
Collections came in $76,643 behind the model.
One week is not reconciled yet — excluded from the score
Example: these weeks illustrate how the score reads — they are not a real ledger.
Why cash changed
- Revenue growth / project volume (monthly): 0% → 2% — Ramps future invoicing only; cash lands after the 7-week collection lag
Timing assumptions
- New invoicing converts to cash after the observed 7-week collection lag; pre-window invoicing is unchanged.
Monthly ending cash in Scenarios and Week-13 cash here use different horizons and methods (12-month monthly model vs 13-week direct method) — the deltas are not meant to match.

Opening + receipts − payments = ending, every week. Opening, receipts and payments shown are the Base forecast; the scenario column re-times and re-sizes them per the drivers above.

where the Base numbers come from
Opening $604,000 + net −$213,240 = week 13 $390,760
Simplifications
- No seasonality was derived from your history — invoicing is modelled flat at the run-rate.
- The downside collection haircut is a default (0.70×), not derived from your own variance.
