Indicative timeline
Timing follows readiness and complexity
The initial model, scenario definitions and weekly update cadence are agreed after data readiness and entity complexity are reviewed. Each update should replace elapsed weeks with actual cash movements, explain material actual-versus-forecast variances and refresh the remaining thirteen-week view. Forecast reliability depends on timely management updates.
Important exclusions
- A guarantee of cash availability, funding or forecast accuracy.
- Treasury execution, payment authorisation or control of bank accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Scope, approvals and delivery
Does the forecast guarantee that the business will have enough cash?+
No. It is a management planning tool based on the information and assumptions supplied, not a guarantee of liquidity or funding.
How often is the forecast updated?+
The update cadence is agreed in the scope. A rolling model is commonly refreshed as actual receipts, payments and management assumptions change.
What scenarios should a 13-week cash-flow forecast include?+
The agreed model can compare a management-approved base case with downside and upside cases. Each case should state the changed collection, payment, funding or operating assumptions and the trigger for management action.
How should forecast variance be reviewed?+
Each weekly update should compare actual receipts and payments with the prior forecast, explain material timing or value differences, assign corrective actions and roll the remaining view forward.
Who approves payment decisions?+
The client retains all banking authority and payment decisions. Valusage provides analysis and documented decision support only.
