01When it runs
What starts the work
Eve dispatches Cash Pilot when one of these events arrives, checks readiness first, and records why the work was allocated.
- The weekly forecast refresh, a major receipt or payment change, a stale collection promise, an aging increase or a liquidity threshold breach.
- An internal owner or approved external confirmation of payment or conversion timing.
02What it checks
The procedures Cash Pilot performs
Every procedure has a stable identifier in the approved SOP, an expected result and required evidence. Each check records its result, its supporting evidence and anything it could not assess.
- 01
Reconciles opening available cash to bank and book balances, distinguishing restricted funds, unsettled items and inaccessible currencies.
- 02
Builds weekly inflows and outflows for 13 weeks from source obligations, operational events and approved adjustments, tying opening plus movements to closing cash every week.
- 03
Prioritises collection opportunities using payment history, current disputes, invoice validity, customer concentration and realistic owner commitments.
- 04
Reviews all current assets for long-pending conversion: receivables, unbilled or contract assets, inventory, supplier and employee advances and refundable deposits.
- 05
Analyses the cash conversion cycle and its drivers with consistent definitions, explaining approximations and business-model limitations.
- 06
Drills into locked balances by party, invoice, SKU, project and age, separating recoverable delay, operational bottleneck, accounting error and potential impairment.
- 07
Seeks confirmation of collection, shipment, billing, refund or settlement dates through Eve and approved Inbox requests, and tracks promises and their reliability.
- 08
Produces base, downside and upside scenarios with supported assumptions, without counting an unbilled milestone twice or a transfer as new income.
- 09
Recommends collections, billing acceleration, inventory action, supplier-term review and approved cash sweeps, explaining effects on relationships, obligations and liquidity.
- 10
Compares forecast to actual weekly cash, explains misses, updates assumptions and tracks realised cash release and collection timing.
Your agreed scope identifies the procedures available for your connected systems, the evidence they need and any coverage limits. Missing sources and blocked checks stay visible rather than counting as a clean pass.
03Who it works with
One lead per finding. Named support.
Revenue Assurance validates billability and invoices, Deduction resolves advances and short payments, Inventory explains stock conversion and Entitlement identifies credible claims.
Investigator establishes root cause, Journal handles approved corrections, Sentinel reviews risky cash movements, and Eve coordinates confirmations.
Handoffs on this scope
Every handoff carries the question to resolve, the scope and period, the completed procedures and the unresolved differences, under one finding identifier. The receiving agent accepts or declines with a reason.
04What it files
Workbooks you can download. Reports you can read.
Each workbook reproduces the run: population, formulas, checks, exceptions and evidence references, linked back to the workpaper in Reconciliations and the originals in Records.

05What it raises, what stays with you
Findings for the agent. Decisions for your team.
A liquidity shortfall, a stale collection promise, a blocked current asset, an unsupported forecast inflow, an avoidable conversion delay or a risky transfer.
Cash released or accelerated is shown separately from incremental recovery and profit, and internal transfers are never double counted.
Collection commitments, external confirmations, term changes, write-off proposals and money movements go to your Inbox. A forecast recommendation is not payment authority. Sweeps use registered accounts, respect your caps, keep Sentinel's review and need every required approval. No agent moves money on its own.
Cash buffers, collection probability, aging, forecast deviations, scenario shocks, promise staleness and escalation. The 13-week horizon is required scope.
Bank or source settlement, allocation to the original balance and actual timing against the baseline are confirmed. Weekly cash is reconciled, and the original finding, the remaining forecast and the conversion measures are updated.
06What good looks like
What a completed result looks like
The observable outcomes Cash Pilot has to produce before the duty counts as complete on your books.
- An unbilled milestone converted to an invoice appears only once in forecast cash.
- A supplier advance with no credible conversion date is highlighted and never assumed to be cash.
- A completed collection links to a bank receipt and is distinguished from an incremental recovery.
Where Cash Pilot works
Accounts receivable
Prioritises collections by payment behaviour, dispute status and invoice validity, and tracks each promise against the cash that lands.
Cash forecasting
Builds the 13-week forecast from reconciled balances and source obligations, ties every week, and reviews cash trapped in receivables, inventory, advances and deposits.
