Margin-to-Cash
Accelerator for operating in the EDAVEN hub
From price and cost to margin and cash, with a billable document, reconciliation and a period close with explicit pending items.
A ready starting point for your industry
The cookbook is the offer version of the knowledge on this topic: it comes from the BoK, is implemented by Services with the CoE and starts running in the EDAVEN fabric, with people and agents working together.
- The knowledge
- BoK. Method, decisions, recipes and data for the topic, ready to adapt to your case.
- The implementation
- Services. The Arcogi team and the CoE apply the recipes to your case, as contracted.
- Where the operation runs
- The fabric. Data Ready, Organization and Agents and Decision Intelligence, as the case requires, with people and agents.
What the market is facing
Margin on the report does not always become cash: denials, credits and divergent cost erode the result between execution and collection.
Pains the cookbook solves
Each pain has an answer in recipes applicable to your case.
What it costs today: Margin calculated differently in each area.
What the cookbook changes: A single financial grammar for price, cost and period.
What it costs today: Invoices that do not match what was executed.
What the cookbook changes: Linking execution to the billable document and reconciling the receivable.
What it costs today: Period closes with hidden pending items.
What the cookbook changes: Period close with explicit pending items and late events handled.
Executive view
Decisions gain method, indicators defined beforehand and a reading of the effect afterwards.

Technical view
Which data goes in, how the recipe is organized and where it connects.
Data and source systems
- Contracts, price and discount
- Execution and tax documents
- Invoices and receipts
- Cost and provisions
Connections
Open to adapters and connectors with the ecosystems you already use, such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, GCP, Microsoft and others. Connections are defined in each project.
What comes with each recipe
- Problem and decisionGoal, context, alternatives and expected result.
- Data and indicatorsSources, definitions, quality and starting reference.
- People and agentsOwners, activities and approvals.
- Application and evidenceAdaptation roadmap, tests, exceptions and measurement.
How to start
From the first case to continuous operation, a ladder with an exit criterion at each step.
Organize and govern what already runs
Organization & Agents
Organize and govern the agents that already exist, each with an owner, an accepted limit and a record of every act.
Structure the first case
VÉRTICE Executivo
A critical decision is read end to end: data, owners and baseline. It ends with the chosen recipes and the proposal for the next step.
Apply a capability
Decision Sprint
One to three recipes run in shadow operation, beside the human decision, on the baseline.
Operate and follow
MDC · Managed Decision Cell
The recipes start operating under supervision, and the effect is tracked against the baseline.
Recipes guide adaptation and supervised implementation. Scope, integrations and acceptance criteria are defined in the proposal; examples and screens use synthetic data.
Which part of your operation needs to move forward?
Start with a recurring decision or an outcome that matters. Together we identify the data, people and first capability required.
