Profitable on paper. Short on cash by Friday.

THE BLEEDING-NECK PROBLEM

Cash timing breaks businesses before the P&L notices.

Fixed obligations do not care that sales had a weird week.
The repair invoice is not the full equipment-loss cost.
Delayed receivables can squeeze payroll before they become bad debt.
Several manageable shocks can become dangerous when stacked.

THE CASH FRAMEWORK

Four moves. One decision-ready timeline.

C

Capture the baseline

Chain 13 weeks of real inflows, outflows, payroll, and protected cash.

A

Apply the shock

Place lost, delayed, protected, and recovery cash in the correct weeks.

S

See the shortfall

Find the low point, warning week, runway, payroll exposure, and gap.

H

Handle the response

Compare operating levers before treating borrowing as the automatic answer.

LOAD A FICTIONAL SAMPLE

Model the shock owners usually underestimate.

Slow Week

Changes: cash sales, timing, recovery cost.

Usually missed: lost versus delayed revenue.

Broken Equipment

Changes: repair, downtime, capacity, temporary operations.

Usually missed: lost capacity costs more than the invoice.

Weather Closure

Changes: lost days, protected capacity, spoilage, reopening.

Usually missed: a filed claim is not cash.

Delayed Receivable

Changes: original and revised collection weeks.

Usually missed: moving the cash instead of duplicating it.

Stacked Shock

Changes: multiple disruptions with preserved timing.

Usually missed: Week 3 changes every later opening balance.
