While fewer companies were included in the 2025 data set, the overall change in payment performance is small; the 0.3-point decline suggests a general trend of stability rather than a significant deterioration in the sector's payment habits. With resources like a late payment calculator readily available, companies have the power to proactively address and improve payment timelines, thereby contributing to overall industry health. The lower 2025 score may reflect increased scrutiny of payment data rather than systemic issues.
