Management question

Locked evidence · 2026-09-16

The booking is profitable. Can we afford the cash timing?

The booking earns R112 118, but current terms require R79 500 of venue funding before customer settlement catches up.

What PP sees

Profitability passes; liquidity does not. Supplier payments occur before sufficient customer receipts.

Clean source versus ambiguous source

The donor's fictional XLSX cases prove that PP can show what it read and refuse commitment when material evidence is unclear. Reviewing these fixtures writes only to the authorised sandbox and is cleared by reset.
