The deadline, the score, the blockers.
The Close commitment card sits above the periods list. It shows the open month's deadline, the business days remaining, the readiness score and what is standing between you and the close, each blocker linked to the page that fixes it.

Prepared early, approved on time.
The close is not a sprint on the last day. Agents prepare it during the month and file it for approval early enough to meet the target.
Bank rules and agents code transactions as they land. Payments match. Anomalies are flagged the night they appear. The daily close preparation dry-runs the close and files what needs a decision as proposed changes.
The first reminder goes out with the score and the blockers. By T-1 the reconciliations and reviews that still need a person are the only items left, and the second reminder names them and who owns them.
Two reviewers sign off, the period locks, the close date is recorded, and the month joins the history as on time.
A streak you can show your board.
Every closed period keeps its close date and business days to close. The on-time rate, the median and the streak are the figures a board, a lender or a firm actually asks for.
Firms see every client
The firm dashboard shows days left and on-time status per client. Sort by days left on the morning of T-1 and start at the top.
Shared with the scorecard
The close-days figure feeds the Trust Scorecard, so an on-time close lifts the grade and both pages agree.
Managed means met
On Fully Managed, meeting the commitment is the deliverable. DayZero accountants review and own the close; the scorecard proves it was met.
Start next month at zero.
The free five-day pilot runs the readiness score on your real books by day four and walks the first close with you on day five.
