Phase 01
Phase 02
Phase 03
Phase 04
01
Rapid Liquidity Visibility and Cash Triage
Days 1 – 30// Objective
Establish immediate rapid API ingestion of banking, AR, and AP ledgers and set up a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast to shatter the illusion of delayed accrual accounting.
// Action Steps
- Establish data connectivity and intake pipelines for core financial ledgers.
- Quantify the conversion efficiency and cycle time required to move a prospect through the sales funnel to ensure accurate cash flow timing.
// Linked Models
// Key Deliverable
An Initial Status Report containing a 13-Week Cash Flow Forecast, a Daily Liquidity Dashboard.
02
The Bleeding Diagnostic and Portfolio Purge
Days 31 – 60// Objective
Conduct a forensic quote-versus-actual audit of the last 45 days to identify and purge or re-price low-margin offerings that consume capacity but destroy capital.
// Action Steps
- Analyze the true direct costs to detect exactly where and how production costs exceed the initial quote or estimate.
- Rank offerings by total gross profit contribution to identify the “Profit Killers” (high effort, low margin) that consume administrative energy but contribute negligible net income.
// Key Deliverable
A Variance Analysis Report and a Product Rationalization Roadmap.
03
Immediate Revenue Yield and Cash Conversion
Days 61 – 90// Objective
Implement aggressive pricing optimization, identify inelastic services where prices can be safely raised by 5-10%, and institute strict discount governance rules to prevent sales from eroding newly established margins.
// Action Steps
- Measure the historical correlation between price adjustments and sales volume to determine if products/services are elastic or inelastic, finding the revenue-maximization point.
- Analyze volume consolidation and evaluate vendor scorecarding to optimize supply chain costs and identify opportunities for more favorable payment terms.
// Key Deliverable
An Updated Pricing Strategy Report including an Accounts Payable Extension Directive.
04
Operational Stabilization and Capacity Protection
Days 76 – 90// Objective
Protect newfound capacity after unprofitable work is purged by hard-coding the ABI Dashboard to flag generated quotes that fall below new gross profit minimums, requiring executive override.
// Action Steps
- Identify the single process point that limits total output and analyze billable vs. non-billable capacity to prevent idle time or over-utilization.
- Evaluate labor utilization and identify tasks that could be automated
// Linked Models
// Key Deliverable
A Final Report including 30 day margin recovery forecast and recommendations for future expense reductions in labor deployment
