Find the cash
trapped in the cycle.

Working capital is cash wearing a disguise. Five inputs measure how many days each revenue dollar spends locked in receivables and inventory, what one day of improvement is worth in dollars, and what your last twelve months imply about the peg a buyer will hold you to.

What's inside

  • The cycle, measured: DSO, DIO, DPO, and the full cash conversion cycle, with the prior-year trend
  • What one day is worth, in dollars, for each lever, and an improvement scenario that prices your targets as released cash and interest saved
  • A Peg Prep tab: twelve months of balances build the trailing-average peg proxy, your seasonal spread, and what closing in each month would cost or hand to the buyer
  • No macros, no lock-in. Opens in Excel and imports cleanly into Google Sheets

How to use it

  1. Enter five numbers from your financials. The cycle and the day-values compute.
  2. Set improvement targets you can defend. The released cash totals itself and prices the interest it stops costing.
  3. If a sale is anywhere on your horizon, fill the Peg Prep tab. The peg is a price term, and it is set from the twelve months you are living right now.
  4. Hold the gains with a weekly cash rhythm; the cycle drifts back the moment nobody owns it.

The published teardown of this playbook is the Bluffline Supply case study; the weekly discipline is the 13-week cash flow template. If you want this running against your numbers properly, start a conversation.
