✦ Tessera SIL — metric description
"Days Sales Outstanding measures how long, on average, it takes to collect payment after a sale. This definition uses the average AR balance across all subsidiaries divided by credit sales in the trailing 30-day window, scaled to days. Credit card sales and due-on-receipt terms are excluded because payment is received at the time of sale. As of April 2026, the result of 35.1 days means the business is collecting payment roughly five weeks after invoicing."
⚠ This is the first version of this metric. Once approved, any change to the formula, account selection, or scope requires a new version — the original definition and all results it produced are permanently preserved.

Controller Sign-off

The approval workflow where a Controller reviews and signs a metric definition. Once signed, the definition is locked for the period, results become immutable, and the Controller's name travels with every displayed value.
This is the governance gate — the moment that separates Tessera from every other BI tool. The sign-off is not a checkbox; it's an auditable event with the same weight as signing a journal entry.
