Reported margin is an opinion until the cash agrees.

Which customers, products and service promises truly create value?

Where it breaks

Profit leaks between the invoice and the bank.

  1. 01

    Reported margin often hides rebates, claims, service burden and working-capital drag.

  2. 02

    Discounts are visible; true cost-to-serve and cash leakage usually are not.

  3. 03

    Commercial teams need recoverable actions, not another profitability dashboard.

STREDGELAB response: recover leakage with evidence, not another dashboard.

Gate record

What this engine has passed.

Internal gates passed
48/48
Assurance rung
L3 candidate

A gate is one internal technical check the engine must pass before its output is treated as signed: a reconciliation, a boundary condition, or a determinism-and-replay test. The count is gates passed of gates defined. Independent certification is pending across all engines.

Worked example

From €100m of list revenue to what the bank sees.

A distributor decides whether to renew its three largest contracts on current terms. The engine restates one year of list revenue down to cash-adjusted contribution, holding every deduction to a booked source.

List revenue€100.0m
Rebates, claims and credit notes−€18.0m
Pocket revenue€82.0m
Cost to servePicking, delivery frequency, returns−€14.0m
Service-adjusted revenue€68.0m
Attributable operating cost−€16.0m
True contribution€52.0m
Working-capital carry68 days of receivables, financed−€14.0m
Cash-adjusted contribution€38.0m
Illustrative figures, chosen to show how the arithmetic runs. They are not client data and not a benchmark.

The gap between list and cash is €62.0m. The engine's job is to split it: what is structural, and what is a term or service choice the commercial team can change before renewal.

Assurance and governance

AI may explain, summarise, translate and draft from signed engine outputs. It cannot calculate authoritative values, select decision states, approve actions or alter audit records.

The message

One decision. One verdict.

Bring us the decision. We build the evidence, and end on a verdict you can defend.

  • Protect profitable accounts
  • Recover margin leakage
  • Redesign service or terms
  • Renegotiate or exit value-destroying accounts
Before you instruct

The questions buyers actually ask.

What data do you need to start?

Twelve months of invoice lines, the credit-note and rebate ledger, and whatever the operation already records about delivery frequency and returns. If cost to serve is not recorded, we say so in the output rather than model it silently.

How is this different from a profitability dashboard?

A dashboard reports a number. This engine reconciles list revenue to cash and states which part of the gap is recoverable, under which action, with the evidence for each step attached. It ends on a verdict, not a view.

What happens if the evidence is thin?

The gate does not pass. An unevidenced leakage line is reported as open, not as a saving. We would rather hand you a smaller recoverable figure you can defend than a larger one you cannot.
