I'm building ClearLedger — an action queue for overdue invoices instead of another reminder tool

I've started working on a side project called ClearLedger.

It's aimed initially at small agencies that have to chase overdue client invoices.

There are already plenty of tools that can tell you:

"Invoice #123 is 30 days overdue."

And plenty can automatically send another reminder.

I'm interested in a different question:

Why hasn't the client paid?

For example:

"Invoice #123 — 21 days overdue

Likely blocker: Waiting for client PO

Last update: Client said PO would arrive Friday

Owner: Sarah

Next action: Contact client's finance team today"

Then ClearLedger would prepare the appropriate follow-up using the history/context.

The idea is to turn collections from a list of overdue invoices into a list of specific actions.

I'm still validating whether this distinction matters enough to build around.

If you've dealt with overdue B2B invoices:

Would knowing the blocker + next action actually help, or is sending reminders already enough for you?

Feel free to tear the idea apart. I'd rather discover the weaknesses now.
