Accounts Receivable Management

Recovery Performance Diagnostic

Find out what one portfolio really nets you after fees, complaints and disputes, measured on your own accounts, before you move a single placement.

TSI’s Recovery Performance Diagnostic looks at one portfolio, stage or segment of your receivables. It sets your baseline economics, reviews your channel strategy, analyzes complaints and risk, and designs a carve-out that can run as a measured pilot beside your current agencies. It takes about 4 weeks once TSI receives clean data. It’s free, and it commits you to nothing.

Why run it

Agencies usually get judged on liquidation rate and contingency fee. What you net after fees, complaints, disputes and legal cost, on matched accounts, tells you more. Building that view takes analyst time most teams don’t have, so agency decisions often rest on the last quarterly review.

The Diagnostic builds it for one segment, on your data.

What you get

Baseline economics

Liquidation and net-back (what you keep after fees, complaint and dispute handling and legal cost) by placement cohort, so you can compare agencies on the same footing.

Channel review

How accounts in the segment are contacted today (calls, letters, texts, emails and self-service payment) and where contact and payment drop off.

Complaint and risk analysis

Complaints, disputes and compliance exceptions tied to the segment, with the root causes TSI can find in the data.

Carve-out design

A test you could run: which accounts, how many, against which incumbent, measured how and for how long.

Written readout

A report and a working session with your team. You keep the report whether or not you go further.

How it works

What TSI needs from you

12 to 24 months of placement and payment history for the segment, your current fee schedule, your complaint and dispute log for the same accounts, and the legal and complaint-handling costs you track for them. Expect about 2 hours of your team's time: a kickoff call, a data check-in and the readout.

How long it takes

About 4 weeks from the day TSI receives clean data. The readout meeting is booked at kickoff.

Who runs it

An ARM analytics lead builds the baseline. A compliance analyst reviews complaints and risk. A client strategy lead designs the carve-out and runs the readout with you.

What happens to your data

TSI signs an NDA before any data moves. Files arrive by secure file transfer, are used only for the Diagnostic, and are returned or destroyed at the end, with written confirmation.

Free, with no obligation. Finishing the Diagnostic doesn’t commit you to place an account with TSI. If the carve-out makes sense, the pilot is a separate agreement with its own terms and fees.

Compare two agencies on net-back

Put two agencies side by side on the same kind of accounts. Net-back is what you keep after fees, complaint and dispute handling, and legal cost.

Your agencies

Agency 1

Any label you like, up to 40 characters.

Placed, or planned, with this agency over the same period. For example, 1,000,000.

Share of placed dollars collected over the period you're comparing, before fees. Type 11 for 11%.

Your staff time and any remediation on this agency's complaints over the period. Leave it blank if there are none.

Staff time on disputes and validation requests for these accounts. Leave it blank if there is none.

Your result

Fill in your numbers, or use the example, and your result appears here.

See the full math

In illustrative math, 6 points of contingency fee are worth about 0.88 points of liquidation, so an agency 6 points cheaper that liquidates 1 point less costs you money. That exchange rate shifts with your own liquidation and fee levels. Compare agencies on the same placement months, a similar mix of accounts, the same time window and gross collections before fees.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to drop our current agencies?

No. The carve-out is designed to run beside your incumbents on matched accounts, so you compare results before anything changes.

Nothing. The Diagnostic is free. Any work after it, such as a pilot, is agreed in writing, with its fees, before it starts.

The readout says so. A segment where your current setup works well is a useful answer too.
