Quick Diagnostic for Mid-Market Firms in Their First 90 Days of Change
Why This Matters
Turnaround risks often hide in plain sight — and cash position is the first place small cracks can become crisis. This checklist gives you fast visibility into operational liquidity.
1. What is our current cash runway in days — and what’s the burn rate?
If you don’t know, assume the worst.
2. What percentage of monthly revenue is recurring or contractually locked in?
Predictability stabilizes decision-making.
3. Are accounts receivable over 60 days growing or shrinking?
Aging receivables = early warning signal of stress downstream.
4. When was the last time we renegotiated major vendor contracts or payment terms?
Cash can often be freed without layoffs.
5. How many clients represent more than 10% of total revenue?
Overconcentration = structural risk.
6. What’s our real-time cash visibility — dashboard or manual report?
If it’s manual, decisions are already behind the curve.
7. Are we holding unnecessary fixed costs tied to legacy projects or expired assumptions?
Dead weight silently drains speed.
