Hi Bob,

Quick question.

Does cash usually arrive comfortably ahead of costs, or is there a gap 
between completing work and actually getting paid?

We see that gap quietly drive a lot of downstream decisions once teams get 
busier, we have a network that helps fix that.

If that rings a bell, I'd love to have a call to see what you might be able 
to get access to.

Alex
