The problem
The company has thirteen weeks of cash. From this moment, one chart runs everything — and if you’ve never built it, you’re already behind the people who have.
In a crisis, profit is irrelevant and cash is the only truth. Businesses trade on past the point they legally should because nobody ran the going-concern test. The debt can’t be paid, so someone must lose — and where the value “breaks” decides who. Cut costs blindly and you sever the recovery’s own legs.
Restructuring is a discipline with its own instruments, and time is the scarcest input. The advisers who save businesses reach for these models on day one.

See it move
Build the 13-week cash flow — receipts and payments, week by week, for the only horizon that matters in a crisis. Delay one large receipt or pull forward a payment and watch the model show the exact week you’d run dry. It turns panic into a sequence of decisions with dates attached. Every turnaround starts here.
