Template
Analyze {company}'s working capital cycle and identify cash-release opportunities in strict order. (1) Compute the three components: days sales outstanding (DSO), days inventory outstanding (DIO), and days payables outstanding (DPO), showing each formula with the figures used. (2) Combine into the cash conversion cycle: DSO + DIO − DPO. (3) Benchmark each component against the industry norms provided in {benchmarks}, quantifying the gap in days. (4) Translate each gap into cash: one day of DSO equals annual revenue divided by 365. (5) For the largest gap, propose two concrete interventions with their typical tradeoffs — e.g., tightening credit terms risks sales; stretching payables risks supplier relationships. (6) Rank opportunities by cash released per unit of implementation difficulty. Do not recommend stretching payables beyond contractual terms.
