Know which future week is your tight one while you still have choices. This Playbook gives you five steps to run in four weeks: a cash floor set in advance, a rolling 13-week cash forecast, a curtailment calendar across every lender, five cash levers worked in order of cost, and the lender and accountant conversations that need October lead time. Plus, a first-30-days checklist that carries your assumptions into your 2027 plan.
