Cash Flow Scenario Timing Bridge

Show how delayed receipts change weekly cash without treating a forecast as booked revenue or hiding a shortfall.

What to provide

Verified opening cash, dated receipts and payments, forecast horizon, minimum liquidity threshold and explicitly named timing scenarios.

Workflow

1. Reconcile opening cash to the source date and distinguish restricted cash from available cash. Keep borrowing capacity separate from bank cash.
2. Calculate weekly ending cash as opening cash plus receipts minus payments. Carry each ending balance into the next opening balance.
3. Move only the named receipts for each scenario. Do not reduce total receipts for a timing-only shift or duplicate them when they land later.
4. Return the low point, threshold breach weeks and assumptions for finance review. Do not initiate transfers, borrow money or advise a purchase.

Output contract

week | opening cash | receipts | payments | ending cash | scenario delta | threshold gap | source | assumption

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional opening cash 100, week 1 receipts 40 payments 70 and week 2 receipts 20 payments 30 give 70 then 60. Delaying 30 of week 1 receipts to week 2 gives 40 then 60. Cumulative cash remains 60; threshold 50 is breached only inweek 1.

Review gates and limits

Reconcile cumulative receipts and carry-forward balances. Re-test a missing opening balance and stop. Distinguish solvency decisions from this preparation-only forecast.
