    Early Warning System

    Detect cash crises before they happen. Build contingency plans, stress test scenarios, and know exactly when to take action.

    "A cash crisis with 90 days warning is a problem to solve. A cash crisis with 9 days warning is an emergency. I exist to make sure you always have the 90 days."
    — Working Capital AI

    Cash crises don't appear overnight. They build over weeks and months - AR aging, inventory accumulating, revenue slowing. The signs are there if you know where to look. The difference between surviving a cash crisis and succumbing to one often comes down to early detection.

    Effective crisis prevention has three components: early warning systems that flag problems 60-90 days out, contingency plans that are ready before you need them, and stress tests that show you where your breaking points are.

    In this topic, you'll learn to build early warning triggers, create actionable contingency plans, and stress test your business against realistic downside scenarios. You'll know your breaking points - and have a plan for each.
