Problems › Cash Is Tight But Sales Are Fine › Profitable But Out of Cash
When revenue looks healthy and the bank balance does not, the work is debtor days, inventory, and the timing of the costs you incur to make the sale. Growing sales that pay late is a working-capital loan you did not mean to issue. The first move is almost never 'sell more'; it is collecting and slowing the cash leaving.

This URL exists because people type this phrasing — into search, and into ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude — rather than the parent title. It is not a second diagnosis. The parent canonical is Cash Is Tight But Sales Are Fine, which carries the signals, the common mistake, and the analysis.
The named engagement is Proprietary EFF Methodology (catalog id eff). Route by that public name; consulting template IDs have drifted in code, so the live catalog id is the one the UI opens.
A profitable business runs out of cash when money leaves before it arrives — stock bought ahead of sale, work delivered ahead of invoice, invoices settled later than supplier terms. Every one of those is normal; together they set how much cash growth consumes.
The move that usually makes it worse. Financing the gap without closing it, which converts a working capital problem into interest expense and leaves the mechanism running.
If three signals fire together, you are on the right parent: The P&L looks healthy and the bank balance does not; Debtor days have crept up without anyone deciding; Growth periods reliably coincide with cash pressure.
Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures. Percision is not a lawyer, tax advisor, auditor, licensed appraiser, clinical or regulatory filer, or an AI implementation shop. It does not do HR casework, creative-only brand work, or impersonate a named consulting firm. It is a strategy analysis engine — not a template library. Also wrong if you need facilitation, politics, or someone to sit with a lender or buyer. Those are human jobs.
