The reason we built Corsair

Every department head presents reports showing comfortable profitability. Your accountant contemplates a career change. Both can be correct. Below is the same eight deals as each system sees them — and the gap between those views, in cash terms.

Patterns · what the cross-system view exposes

Three systemic gaps
trending_down

Pattern 1 · Work-without-invoice AED 1.62M live

Aurora Gala has 14 weeks of staff and vendor cost loaded with zero invoiced. Milestone-trigger billing without milestone enforcement. Fix: Asana milestone changes auto-trigger Zoho draft invoices.

Visible only when HubSpot, Asana, Bayzat and Zoho are read together · Corsair handles this hourly

currency_exchange

Pattern 2 · Cash-on-paper vs cash-in-bank AED 6.44M misread

AED 5.64M in festival escrow + AED 800K Aldira AR shows up as "cash" in standard reports but isn't spendable until April 15 / collected. Standard dashboards quietly inflate runway by ~7 weeks.

Bank vs Ticketstream vs Zoho disagreement

groups

Pattern 3 · Staff loaded against frozen work ~22K/wk

Bayzat shows head-of-prod 60% allocated to Umbrella while Asana shows the project stalled and Zoho shows the invoice disputed. Work isn't happening; cost is.

Timeline

2024-10-22 · HubSpot
Contract signed — AED 480K
Sheleesh closes the deal personally. Net 30 terms. No retention clause negotiated.
2024-12-02 · Asana
Phase 1 kickoff
Atrium installation begins. Umbrella facilities team adds last-minute change requests not in scope.
2025-03-01 · Asana
Substantial completion · QC inspection raises 4 findings
Umbrella's QC inspector flags lighting calibration and finish quality. Sheleesh disputes findings as opinion-based, no remediation agreed.
2025-05-14 · Zoho
Phase 1 invoiced in full · AED 480K
Three invoices over April–May for build, install, and special services. Net 30 across all three.
2025-08-30 · Bank
Partial payment received · AED 192K
"Provisional payment subject to QC remediation" per Umbrella memo. Covers main install invoices.
2026-02-12 · Bank
Second partial · AED 180K
Brings total to AED 372K. AED 108K still disputed — including the small TCT-2026-329 extras invoice (AED 12K, "Special Services").
2026-02-15 · Email log
Sheleesh's escalation email goes unanswered
Subject: "Final settlement — Atrium Phase 1." 9 follow-ups since, no response from Umbrella AP.
2026-03-15 · Asana
Phase 2 (AED 620K) frozen by CFO recommendation
Yousef Khoury blocks pre-fabrication PO until Phase 1 settled.
2026-03-28 · Today
Jeeves flags as escalation candidate
Pattern: same head-of-prod owns deal, dispute, and silence. Recommend founder-MD intervention.

Suggested actions

Founder-MD direct call

Bypass Sheleesh; Florian to call Umbrella COO directly. Goal: settle AED 108K within 14 days.

Draft talking points
Statutory demand letter

If no response within 7 days post-call, instruct counsel. Recovery probability high (UAE assets).

Use template T-3
Reassign account

Pattern review: Sheleesh shouldn't own a disputed account he sold. Move to Khalil (acct services head).

Open HR ticket
Jeeves Symbolic AED 108K is not why this matters. The pattern matters: ownership concentration, silence under pressure, frozen Phase 2 worth 620K, and AED 22K/wk staff cost still loaded. Resolve in two weeks or write off and book a clean lesson.

One-line take

Two fires, one breeze, and a champagne dilemma. Aurora Gala bleeding margin while Vision Realm refuses to sign the change order — that is your single largest live risk this quarter. Aldira still ghosting AED 800K. Lantern Bay 2026 sold out; Q1 beat plan by 9.6%.

The numbers

  • Cash unrestricted: AED 9.1M · runway ~98 days · target ≥ 90
  • Q1 revenue: AED 11.51M vs plan AED 10.5M (+9.6%)
  • EBITDA Q1: AED 890K vs plan AED 950K — narrowly missed because of Aurora
  • DSO trailing 90d: 51 days · target 45 · trend improving
  • AR open: AED 3.27M · of which AED 800K is Aldira (47d overdue)
  • Headcount: 18 FTE · payroll 480K/mo · utilisation likely 62% in May

Decisions needed this week

  • Today — Force Aurora Gala change order. Halt fabrication POs until written CO. Florian to call KSA principal before EOD. Margin impact AED 990K.
  • Today — Issue formal demand letter to Aldira Group (AED 800K). Template T-3 in your library. Pause new business with Aldira pending settlement.
  • This week — Decide insurance dispute (Lloyds, AED 1.31M outstanding). Pursue civil suit (NPV +AED 525K, 9–14mo) or write off. Limbo is not a strategy.
  • By 4 April — Renew Bvlgari Marina noise permit before Family K. event on 24 April.
  • This month — Decide on Q2 creative hire. Recommend freeze pending utilisation review.

Wins (for the record)

  • Lantern Bay 2026 sold out three nights · revenue AED 5.81M · GP AED 2.25M
  • Royal Reception (Sheikh G.) closed clean · 100% upfront · cleared 18 January
  • DSO recovering from 78 (Sep '25) to 51 — discipline holding

Calendar — next 14 days

  • 2026-04-01 — Mashreq WPS payroll run (AED 480K)
  • 2026-04-04 — Bvlgari Marina permit deadline
  • 2026-04-11 — Aurora Gala event date (red)
  • 2026-04-15 — Lantern Bay vendor settlement (escrow sweep AED 5.64M)
  • 2026-04-18 — Royal Reception (Qatar) event date
  • 2026-04-24 — Family K. Daughter Engagement event date
  • 2026-04-29 — ADNOC Innovation 2026 payment due (AED 1.82M, Net 90)

Watch list (no action yet)

  • USD AR exposure rising — USD 360K open. Peg holds, but reporting noise.
  • Meraas Bluewaters AR Walk — burn rate +12%, AR vendor stalling. Decision by 10 April.
  • Sheleesh / Umbrella ownership pattern — managerial conversation, not project conversation.
