# Cash Cycle Days Period-Length Crosscheck

Hold a cash-cycle comparison when components mix quarter and annual day counts.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Average balances, sales/COGS, component formulas, period dates and day-count policy.

## Workflow
1. Record the denominator period and day multiplier for each component.
2. Compare actual period scope before aggregating days.
3. Show same numerator/denominator with alternative multipliers as basis differences.
4. Return a comparable-basis question, not a silent restatement.

## Output contract
component | denominator_period | day_multiplier | calculated_days | common_basis | hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional ratio 0.2 times 90 days gives 18; times 365 gives 73. Combining 18 quarterDIO with annualDSO without a policy bridge is held, not 55 days improvement.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
