Working capital estimate

How much is your inventory gap tying up?

Europe's largest companies hold an estimated €1.4 trillion in excess working capital (Hackett Group, 2025). This puts a rough size on your share of it, from three figures you already know. It takes about thirty seconds and asks nothing from the diagnostic.

Capital tied up in the gap, typically

€21.6M–€32.4M

You hold 29 days of inventory above the Industrial / manufacturing median. Applied to your revenue, that gap typically ties up the range above. It is an estimate from public sector medians, not a precise figure, and it does not yet explain why the gap is there.

How to read this

  • Public inputs only

    Revenue, sector and inventory days. Nothing from the diagnostic, no account, no financial data leaves your browser to produce the number on screen.

  • A range, not a figure

    The estimate uses published sector medians (Hackett, PwC, APQC) applied to your revenue. It shows the size of the gap. It does not claim a precise euro number.

  • The gap, not the cause

    Inventory is one ratio on one driver. The diagnostic measures all five and shows why the gap is there — which the balance sheet cannot.

Next

The estimate sizes the gap. The diagnostic explains it.

A score across all five drivers, the financial translation with the calculation shown, and the four changes that move it first. Read a real one before you decide.
