Cashflow forecasting and S-curves built from the live commercial record, so payment timing is visible before the money moves.
A cashflow forecast assembled from claims, commitments and payment terms, not a static spreadsheet kept alive by hand. As the commercial record moves, the projected timing of money in and out moves with it.
One S-curve carries three lines: what was planned to bill, what has been claimed, and what has been certified to pay. The gap between claimed and certified is what assessment took out; the gap back to plan is how far ahead or behind the works are running. Both read as shape, well before they reach a bank balance.
The timing of money in and out is visible ahead of time, so cash decisions are made on a clear picture, not a month-end shock. No surprises before the money moves.
Payment claims and assessed amounts, as they are issued.
Subcontracts and purchase orders already raised.
The terms that decide when each amount actually falls due.
