Lead with the carry on a faster close. The CCC bridge (DSO/DIO/DPO) is an ops scenario you set — not the automation thesis, and not the team ballpark.
Lead with carry. Annual carry on close lag is the figure tied to a faster close. CCC cash freed is mostly DSO/DIO/DPO targets — inventory days are not a finance-automation lever. Controllers should treat that larger number as a scenario, not a claim.
Close lag delays cash decisions. Size that lag as decision-relevant cash and carry at your WACC. The DSO/DIO/DPO bridge is a separate ops-tightening scenario — inventory days are not a default finance-automation lever. Not new revenue — timing of cash you already earn.
The Snapshot maps your close and cash-cycle friction, automates one live path, and hands you a measured figure — free, yours to keep.
