A diagnostic that separates working capital actions an organization can deliver now from those that need capability built first. It turns a cash ambition into a sequenced, risk-adjusted portfolio a finance sponsor can approve.
The 13 sections
An anchored eight-dimension capability rubric covering receivables, inventory, payables, data and governance. It comes with evidence caps, a weakest-link readiness rule, cash sizing and risk-adjustment formulas, and an options structure that keeps one-time cash, recurring financing benefit and freed capacity apart. Also included: owner-based execution, governance and measurement tables, a synthetic worked case with a failure case and growth scenario, a calibration exercise, and copy-ready scoring, worksheet, gap register and guardrail tools.
