High level? Think about cash flow forecast. How you do this? You need to model your income statement and balance sheet. Start building up assumptions for: sales (duh), accounts receivables, overdues, your cogs, inventory, possible capex investments, opex, etc. This is very structured data, you can build up hierarchy trees in python, but it will take you too long. Plus, your models will change, people will want to see things from many different changing angles. Unfortunately, every time I start writing about controlling people desert the thread around here, but it is a fascinating topic.
