    What is Cashflow Forecasting and how does this model work?

    Each period, cash inflows = revenue × collections rate. Cash outflows = expenses × payments rate, plus tax on operating surplus. Investing CF captures capex; financing CF nets new funding against repayments and drawings. A sector-specific macro liquidity multiplier adjusts net operating cash flow.

    Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Operating CF + Investing CF + Financing CF
