Trending bucket movements and roll-rates over time shows whether overdue balances are growing or shrinking, informing realistic collection targets, workload, and staffing. Rising later buckets may justify more collectors or process changes; improving trends validate current effort. Targets tie to DSO, CEI, and bad-debt goals.
