How the Prediction Works

Industry Baseline

Each industry has a different average payment time based on real data. Construction averages 45 days while retail averages 18 days.

Client Size Impact

Larger companies typically have longer approval processes. Enterprise clients pay 50% slower than small businesses on average.

Payment Terms

Stated payment terms affect timing, but most clients pay 5-8 days beyond the stated terms. Net 30 typically means 35-38 days in reality.

Relationship History

Long-term clients pay 5 days faster on average. New clients take 8 days longer as they verify work quality and set up payment processes.
