Agency-specific risks

What a headline payment can leave out

Retainer durability, client concentration, payroll timing, fees, security, guarantees, and exit terms change the decision.

01

The amount lacks a dated budget

A round request without payroll, vendor, invoice, or transaction dates cannot be tested against agency cash flow.

Tie each use to an amount, date, owner, and cancellation condition.
02

Pipeline is treated as collectible revenue

Unsigned proposals and verbal renewals may not produce cash on the modeled date.

Separate signed work, recurring retainers, issued invoices, and uncommitted pipeline.
03

The comparison stops at payment

A payment does not reveal fees, variable-rate rules, security, guarantees, default terms, or the exit path.

Normalize the complete written obligation and test delayed collections.
