Implementation Tips

1

Provide receivables and payables timing patterns so AI can model realistic cash flow, not just revenue

2

Ask for scenarios with delayed payments and seasonal fluctuations built in

3

Request range forecasts (pessimistic, realistic, optimistic) rather than single-point predictions
