AR delays are systematic: activity vs. outcome

Aging AR is rarely one dramatic failure. It is thousands of accounts that each slipped a few days, then a few weeks, until recovery got hard.

The fix is not heroics; it is a system: prioritized queues by value and age, defined turnaround targets, and escalation for the accounts that need it.

HDT works AR as an operating discipline, keeping inventory liquid and surfacing the accounts that require action — so aging stops being inevitable.
