Greendz SME treasury methodology overview
Methodology · Why Greendz

Liquidity decisions you can explain, defend and repeat.

Greendz is decision support for UK SME treasury. We model your cash position, apply explicit risk guardrails, and keep a publicly verifiable log — so reserve choices stay prudent, documented, and under your control.

How reserves are structured

Illustrative structure. Your bands are set from your payables, payroll and volatility.

Decision support only; not financial advice. You approve every allocation.

Why choose us

Built to prevent the three most common treasury mistakes.

Most SME reserve problems are not about finding yield. They are about timing, concentration, and lack of documentation. Our methodology addresses each directly, without adding complexity to your finance routine.

Common failureHow Greendz responds
Cash locked when needed
Surplus placed without reference to upcoming outflows.
Every suggestion is checked against modelled payables, payroll dates and a buffer you set. If cover is thin, we recommend holding back.
Unclear rationale
Decisions made in spreadsheets or inboxes.
Each model output includes inputs, assumptions and limits applied, so you can review and explain it later.
Unverifiable claims
Tools that report past performance without proof.
Model behaviour is recorded in a structured, publicly verifiable log. What we show is what was modelled.

What we will not do

To keep the system trustworthy, we keep clear boundaries:

— We do not move money automatically.
— We do not provide financial advice or recommend specific products.
— We do not optimise for yield at the expense of liquidity cover.
— We do not obscure assumptions behind a score.

In short: Greendz models, you decide. The architecture enforces that order — suggestions cannot bypass your guardrails or your approval.

Verifiability

If it matters, it should be checkable.

Trust in treasury tooling should not rely on marketing. Our performance logs use a consistent format with timestamps, model version, inputs hash and outcome — structured so an independent reviewer can confirm continuity.

Methodology

Three steps, repeated each cycle.

Our process is intentionally narrow. It does one job — help you hold the right cash in the right place — and leaves execution and advice to you and your advisers.

01

Model liquidity

We map expected inflows and outflows in GBP, including payroll, VAT, supplier terms and seasonal variation you describe. The output is a cover view, not a forecast promise.

02

Apply guardrails

You set minimum buffer levels, maximum lock-up periods and concentration limits. The model must respect them. If a draft breaches a limit, it is held and explained.

03

Log and review

Inputs, version and result are written to the verifiable log. You review the rationale, approve or reject, and revisit as conditions change.

This cycle runs on your timetable — monthly, quarterly, or ahead of a known outflow — not on market noise. No daily trading signals, no automatic rebalancing.
Comparison

Why teams switch from spreadsheets and generic AI tools.

Spreadsheets are flexible but fragile: formulas break, versions diverge, and rationale is lost. Generic AI chat tools are fluent but unverifiable: they cannot enforce treasury limits or prove what they modelled.

Greendz sits between: structured like good finance control, readable like a clear memo, and logged like an audit trail. You keep judgement; we provide structure and evidence.

Questions

Methodology questions, answered plainly.

Is Greendz financial advice?
No. Greendz provides decision support — modelling, guardrails and logs to inform your own judgement. For regulated advice on specific products, speak to an authorised adviser. Our outputs state this boundary explicitly.
Do you move or hold our money?
No. We do not custody funds, execute transfers, or rebalance automatically. You review the model output and act through your existing bank or provider if you choose to.
What do you need from us to start?
A view of near-term payables and payroll timing, your current buffer preference, and any limits on lock-up or concentration. You can start conservatively and adjust after review. See Contact to discuss fit.
How do verifiable logs work?
Each model run records a consistent set of fields — run identifier, timestamp, model version and outcome status — in a read-only format. This lets you and others confirm that reported runs form a continuous record, rather than selected highlights.
