Working Capital / base / 1 to 3 months
The company is paying vendors increasingly late, a behavioral indicator of cash stress.
Large companies deliberately extend DPO as a working capital strategy. This is normal at scale. The signal only fires when DPO is *rising*, above the standard Net [redacted] threshold, *and* cash is tight, the combination that distinguishes cash stress from deliberate float management.
Exact thresholds, formulas, and severity bands are omitted from this public view. The full methodology, with every figure, is available in the authenticated app.
If DPO extends beyond vendor terms, supplier relationships and credit terms are at risk. Combined with rising DSO, this compresses working capital from both ends.
