7. Journey Stage Distribution
Accounts by Journey Stage
220 55 Current Watch Late Collections Legal

72 accounts in Legal stage (23% of tracked accounts) is high. Net movement this period: 1 from Legal (positive) and +1 to Watch. $1.4M moved healthier, only $24K moved riskier. The pipeline is stable but the Legal backlog needs resolution — these are likely contributing to the 90+ aging bucket.

8. Executive Summary — Strengths, Risks & Asks
Strengths

Cash collection velocity is strong at $52.8M MTD, $128.4M YTD. The team is collecting at pace despite a growing portfolio. PTP keep rate at 91.8% (vs 70% target) shows the team is having the right conversations and securing real commitments. Sarah Mitchell is collecting at 4x the team average — a clear standout to recognize.

Risks

The 90+ aging bucket at $62.4M (44% of AR) is the elephant in the room. It drives DSO above target, suppresses CEI, and represents capital that's effectively locked. Past due ratio has worsened from 46% to 55% over 6 months. CEI at 34.2% is 52 points below target — meaning we're only recovering a third of what's collectible. The team works well on active AR, but the long tail of aged AR is dragging all metrics down.

Asks for the Executive Team

1. Resolve the 72 Legal-stage accounts. These are stuck — contributing to both the 90+ bucket and the dispute backlog. We need legal team bandwidth or outside counsel authorization to clear the pipeline.

2. Support a credit hold review for the 1,089 accounts on hold. These accounts can't order — which means we're protecting AR but also losing revenue. A systematic review could identify accounts safe to reactivate with modified terms.

3. Recognize the team's PTP discipline. 91.8% keep rate is world-class. The problem isn't effort or customer engagement — it's structural (aged AR backlog). The team deserves credit for what they can control.

9. Performance Scorecard

PTP ExecutionA+91.8% keep rate on 340 promises. Only $28K broken. Best-in-class.
DSO ManagementC61 days vs 45 target. Collector-managed at 48 (better). Aged tail is the drag.
CEID34.2% vs 85% target. Structural issue — 90+ bucket ($62.4M) suppresses recovery rate.
Past Due ControlD52.1% past due vs 15% target. Worsening 6-month trend. 90+ bucket is the root cause.
Dispute ManagementB184 open cases, $3.1M disputed across 28 customers. Manageable volume.
