Worked example

A US Fortune 500 distributor on Oracle ERP Cloud. 30D window 14 Mar 26 to 12 Apr 26. Five things to notice:
  1. 5.8 days average vs 7-day alert threshold. Healthy.
  2. vsP up 0.6 days, below the 2-day jump. Watching but not alarming.
  3. Median 4 days = half the orders flow through in 4 days.
  4. 90th percentile 14 days = the long tail of complex orders / B2B holds.
  5. Drill into long-tail for the orders dragging the average up.
