Hi PinchOfSalt

I think you can safely assume that once an invoice is raised, it becomes Revenue. For examples where payments are up front, say 12 months in advance, that shows up on the Balance sheet as deferred Revenue . If a contract allows a Customer extended terms, then the fall-out shows in avg debtor days.
Interestingly, if you go back through previous financials, aged debtor outstandings (90 days +) have presented as tidy and reasonable.

The challenge for Pointerra, as I see it, is at the front-end of the sales process, post the the signing of a contract or in some instances a MOU / Paid POC. The aerial photographing (mapping) conducted by a third party takes time. Pointerra can only commence their activity once they receive the data. In instances where no customization of data is required, the Pointerra process through to Analytics and Answers is super efficient.

Then the next delay period is how long it takes for the Customer to access and/or use the information. Collating the usage may not be that difficult, but assessing that point where the customer has benefited may be more subjective, paricularly for multi department / multi user cases. Can see how this may be contentious and cause further time delays. So the user experience dictates the period leading up to the raising of an invoice. My take anyhow.

But after understanding that a big chunk of receivables is the R&D grant, I've changed my sentiment to buy (at 22c anyway).

"Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers." (from the FY21 Annual report, note 2.)
So revenue is actually not connected to invoicing. As you say, If the service is invoiced but not yet fully delivered, some (or all) will end up on the balance sheet as a liability instead of on the P&L and if unpaid, it will also be an asset under receivables.
So you can't safely assume that once an invoice is raised, it becomes revenue.
It is very hard to reconcile anything for these service companies.
The receivables should all turn into cash (and revenue) eventually, but I would like to see the aging profile.
I've changed my sentiment based on understanding that a big chunk is the R&D receivable.
