A business owner lacks reliable methods to assess new customers' payment reliability when offering net 30 terms, especially for moderate-value orders where traditional references and credit reports provide limited insight into actual vendor payment behavior.

Traditional credit reports and references don't reveal how customers treat vendors they don't care about losing, leaving businesses vulnerable to non-payment despite apparent good standing.
