Computes the cash conversion cycle from receivable, inventory, and supplier-credit day-counts, identifies how many cents are tied up per sales dollar, and flags which lever to pull first.

Output
Returns the computed cash conversion cycle (in days), the cents tied up in working capital per sales dollar, a deterministic decision identifying the primary lever to pull (e.g. reduce receivable days, cut inventory, extend supplier terms), the rule-based rationale text, and public framework citations supporting the recommendation — all derived from the supplied numbers without any AI model involvement.
Example use cases
Working capital audit for a wholesaler
“We carry 40 days of inventory, collect from customers in 50 days, and pay suppliers in 30 days; our cost of sales is 70 cents on the dollar and opex is 15 cents — run the cash cycle numbers and tell me what I should fix first.”
Pre-fundraise cash efficiency check
“Before our investor meeting I need to know our cash conversion cycle: DSO is 35 days, DIO is 25 days, DPO is 45 days, COGS ratio is 55%, opex ratio is 20%. How much working capital per sales dollar are we tying up, and what's the top lever?”
Benchmarking a pricing-change scenario
“If I tighten collections to 28 days, keep inventory at 20 days, and supplier credit stays at 15 days, with COGS at 65 cents and opex at 18 cents per sales dollar, what would my new cash cycle look like and where's the biggest remaining drag?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://business-frameworks.matryoshka-paradigms.workers.dev/apply/cash-flow/decide/cash-cycle?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, rule-based cash cycle calculation with no AI hallucination risk — it is ideal for embedding working-capital diagnostics directly into a financial agent workflow, automating recurring cash health checks, or producing audit-friendly output with cited framework sources. Prefer it over generic LLM-based financial advice when reproducibility and citation traceability matter.
Side effects

- Values outside allowed ranges (negative day-counts, ratios above 1.0) are rejected
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error
