Description
Forecast risk, aging, workload, backlog or balance behavior for cash/accounting timing difference analysis, then alert owners before audit or fiscal deadlines are missed. The MVP would connect Treasury data, CARS, DDS/ADS, disbursing records, Advana FBWT dashboards and produce read-only recommendations for DFAS, OUSD(C), Reporting Entities.

MVP scope
Start with one Component/reporting entity and one subprocess (cash/accounting timing difference analysis) for two close/audit cycles; read-only outputs first.
