Field Collections • Executive business case

Scale field collections selectively, with a gated hybrid model and a July 1 CDMX benchmark.

This memo combines the pilots, the delta workbook, the next-step sizing sheet, the raw Kobra operations feed, and Snowflake cure analytics into one executive story. The structure stays decision-first: what to approve, what the pilots proved, where the economics work, and how to expand only if the first gates are hit.

Decision in one sentence

Approve a staged hybrid rollout: launch CDMX 31-60 as a matched internal-versus-Kobra benchmark on July 1, continue Kobra where the vendor case is already proven, and do not approve broad 91-120 expansion until the next benchmark cycle is complete.

3 / 3 Pilots showed positive treatment cure uplift versus baseline.
MXN 300k Monthly payroll for one internal 10+1 team.
10-12/day Internal utilization range that makes CDMX economically viable.
4-7 days Most attractive revisit window in the raw Pilot 3 funnel.

Recommendation: staged hybrid, with internal bias only where density is proven.

The evidence still does not support a simple binary answer. In-house is not yet proven as a broad operating model; Kobra is not attractive as a broad answer at current pricing. The strongest path remains a hybrid, but the near-term design should become sharper: a CDMX 31-60 head-to-head benchmark, a narrow Jalisco 91-120 Kobra Pilot 4, and selective continuation in Chihuahua 91-120.

Go now: CDMX 31-60 benchmark on July 1 Go now: Chihuahua 91-120 with Kobra Test now: Jalisco 91-120 Kobra core Next internal replication: Jalisco 31-60 Expand later: selective Estado de México 31-60 Do not approve: broad CDMX 91-120 Do not approve: broad 91-120 Kobra scale
Key decision message: field collections appears to be a viable incremental channel, but only selectively. The right approval is a gated rollout with one matched CDMX benchmark, one narrow vendor expansion question, and explicit stop-losses on utilization, conduct, and incrementality.

Why this recommendation still holds

  • Positive pilot evidence exists, but it is uneven by geography and bucket.
  • Broad Kobra expansion destroyed economics in several states despite real cure uplift.
  • Internal economics look attractive only if productivity stays near 10-12 visits per day and route quality is high.
  • Jalisco is the strongest repeat-positive geography across pilots and projections.
  • Chihuahua is the strongest current vendor-backed 91-120 case.
  • CDMX has enough density to justify a benchmark, but not enough evidence to justify broad scale in 91-120.

The pilots proved that field visits can move cure. They did not prove that scale should be broad.

The proof is shown in two layers. First comes the gross field view: field recovery, field spend, and the cost of one collected peso. Then comes the net decision view: treatment recovery minus calls & notifications baseline minus field spend. Cure is shown as the share of clients with payment > 0 during the pilot window from Snowflake.

Source note: Field recovery and field spend / consumo now use the Kobra closeout file as the source of truth. Calls & notifications baseline recovery and final delta still come from the attached delta workbook, which is why the gross and net views should be read as two linked but distinct layers.

Reading rule: price of 1 collected peso = field spend / field recovery. Cure uses cure_report, not payment > 0. For Pilot 3 the threshold is order_dpd_mature <= 60; for Pilots 1-2 it is order_dpd_mature <= 120. Field recovery and field spend come from Kobra's closeout file; baseline recovery and final delta come from the delta workbook where available.

Operational funnel from the raw Kobra visit feed

The raw Kobra workbook shows what happens on the ground between visit, localization, access, direct debtor contact, and PTP. These metrics are per visit, not per client. Reported contact often includes third-party contact, so direct debtor contact is the stricter field-quality measure.

Method for the raw funnel: the Kobra operations workbook was grouped into three pilot windows by visit-date clusters. Funnel metrics are per visit. Reported contact is vendor-recorded and appears to include third-party interactions; direct debtor contact is the more conservative field-quality measure.

Strong enough to support scaling decisions

Jalisco is still the strongest repeat-positive geography. Chihuahua is the cleanest vendor-backed 91-120 case. Broad 91-120 rollout through Kobra is not supported. Borough and city packs are better decision units than full states.

Strong enough to support operating changes

Revisits still matter. The raw vendor feed suggests the best revisit window is fast follow-up, especially in Pilot 3 where 4-7 day revisits showed meaningfully higher direct debtor contact and PTP than first visits.

Important caution

Not every positive funnel movement becomes positive incremental cash. The CRO decision should still anchor on matched-cohort delta and cure lift, not on raw vendor operational metrics alone.

Gross economics tell us where to look. Final delta tells us whether to scale.

The current materials contain two different economic views. The pilot readout lets us calculate final delta because it includes treatment-group recovery, remote-only recovery baseline, and field spend. The next_steps sizing sheet gives projected field recovery, projected spend, projected baseline recovery, and expected delta by cluster, which is enough to compare suggested launch candidates explicitly.

Model Cost logic Where it fits What can break it
In-house
10 collectors + 1 supervisor
MXN 300k monthly team cost.
Cost per visit = 300,000 / (10 × 22 × visits/day).
Dense, repeatable 31-60 pools with tight routing. Productivity below 10/day, thin inflow, or omitted all-in costs such as transport, devices, insurance, and shrinkage.
Kobra Working benchmark price in the materials: MXN 185 / visit. Proven 91-120 pockets and matched benchmarks. Vendor price reset, diluted geography, or weak address quality.
Hybrid Internal fixed-cost cell for dense pools plus variable vendor cost where external flexibility is still useful. Best fit to the evidence. Governance complexity if one economic dashboard is not enforced.

CDMX internal sensitivity, shown with all parts of the delta

This is the clearest monthly internal proof in the materials because it explicitly shows all three parts: projected field recovery, remote-only baseline recovery, and field spend.

Visits / day Monthly visits Cost / visit Projected field recovery Projected calls & notifications baseline recovery Field spend Final delta
81,760MXN 170.45MXN 398,606MXN 158,552MXN 300,000MXN -59,946

Risk note: the internal base case still excludes several cost lines. It is useful for directional comparison, but it is not yet a final investment-grade cost model.

Internal team cost breakdown

The internal base case uses one field cell with 10 field agents + 1 supervisor. The current model reflects payroll and labor burden only.

Cost component Formula Monthly amount What it means
One field agent(MXN 10,000 fixed + MXN 12,000 variable) × 1.20 burdenMXN 26,400Per-agent monthly cost including the labor burden used in the current model.
Ten field agents10 × MXN 26,400MXN 264,000Total monthly cost for the collector team.

If internal only matches Kobra's CDMX 31-60 performance, it is still economically better to do the work ourselves

This benchmark keeps the same recovery performance and changes only the cost model. That is why the July 1 CDMX design should be a matched benchmark: internal does not need to beat Kobra on effectiveness to beat it economically.

Debt and credit-limit insight: bigger is not always better

Snowflake confirms the user hypothesis, but in a nuanced way. Higher debt and higher limit usually bring higher absolute recovery, yet the strongest field-vs-control uplift is usually concentrated in the mid-to-upper bands, not only at the very top.

Pilot Best total-debt band Best credit-limit band Read for targeting
Pilot 1
91-120
20k-30k
+MXN 300 avg recovery
+5.12 pp cure lift
10k-20k
+MXN 334 avg recovery
+3.00 pp cure lift
Do not frame the answer as “highest limit wins.” Mid-high balances were stronger.
Pilot 2
91-120
30k+
+MXN 269 avg recovery
+2.26 pp cure lift
20k-30k
+MXN 137 avg recovery
+1.78 pp cure lift
Late bucket is less stable, but it still supports focusing above the floor rather than staying broad.
Pilot 3
31-60
20k-30k
+MXN 502 avg recovery
+2.12 pp cure lift
20k-30k
+MXN 512 avg recovery
+3.34 pp cure lift
Best evidence to prioritize 10k-30k debt and 10k-30k credit limit, not only 30k+.
Targeting implication: keep the floor at MXN 5k+ total debt, but prioritize 10k-30k debt and 10k-30k credit limit first. Higher absolute pesos in 30k+ do not consistently translate into the best field uplift.

What makes the model unattractive

The economics are sensitive in a few predictable ways. If these move the wrong way, the page should be read as a warning, not as a green light.

Utilization risk

The internal model only looks strong when one team stays near 10-12 visits/day. Below that, the fixed payroll cell becomes hard to justify.

Baseline absorption risk

The biggest destroyer of delta is not always weak field recovery. Often it is that the remote channel would have recovered too much anyway, leaving too little truly incremental cash.

Address and route quality risk

Poor address quality or fragmented geography raises cost per productive visit very quickly. This is why address enrichment and prioritization should be prerequisites.

Potential internal launch candidates

These rows come from the attached next_steps sheet. Team-months are shown as first-pass workload months at 10 visits/day, assuming one field team can cover 2,200 visits per month.

Approximate monthly and yearly internal run-rate in the strongest regions

This normalizes the best regional packs into a run-rate view. For 31-60, the anchor is the pilot-backed Jalisco internal cluster already sized in the planning sheet. For 91-120, there is still no true internal pilot, so the estimate is a proxy: we keep the Jalisco pilot-backed recovery and baseline assumptions and replace vendor spend with an internal team cost of MXN 300k per team-month.

How to read this: monthly and yearly figures are simple run-rate normalizations, not guaranteed inflow. They assume the bank can continuously replenish the same eligible volume in the same geographies and keep the team utilized. The 31-60 Jalisco row is the strongest current internal anchor. The 91-120 Jalisco rows are useful only as a proxy range until an internal late-bucket benchmark exists.

Prioritize geographies where pilot proof, density, and manageable field execution overlap.

The map below is intentionally conservative. It ranks places not only by modeled upside, but by whether the supporting evidence is pilot-backed or merely inferred from current opportunity sizing.

Wave 1: scale now

  • Chihuahua 91-120 with Kobra, especially Chihuahua and Juárez pockets.
  • Jalisco 31-60 remains the strongest next internal replication candidate.

Wave 1: prove now

  • CDMX 31-60 benchmark in the prioritized borough pack.
  • Run internal and Kobra under the same targeting rules.

Wave 2: conditional

  • Estado de México 31-60 in adjacent dense metros.
  • Only after productivity and conduct controls are stable.

Test only / stop

  • Jalisco 91-120 Kobra: Guadalajara + Zapopan core, San Pedro Tlaquepaque optional.
  • Do not scale: broad CDMX 91-120, Nuevo León 91-120, Puebla 91-120, Querétaro 91-120.

Why CDMX 91-120 is not in wave 1

The attached evidence is consistently weak for CDMX 91-120. The state-level pilot result is negative net, and every CDMX 91-120 municipality in the planning file is already gross-negative before subtracting the calls & notifications baseline.

Simple answer for the CRO

We are not recommending CDMX 91-120 because the bank already has direct CDMX 91-120 evidence, and that evidence is negative after subtracting both the remote baseline and field spend.

If CDMX Kobra is launched anyway

It should be framed as a matched 31-60 benchmark against internal, not as an implicit approval for broad vendor scale in CDMX.

Targeting inside geographies

The Snowflake cut supports prioritizing debt 10k-30k and credit limit 10k-30k. That should be the day-one suppression and prioritization rule.

The best levers are the ones that improve route quality, target quality, and true incrementality.

Not every idea should be a prerequisite. The right sequencing is to enforce the few levers that most directly change wasted visits, cannibalization risk, and conduct quality before headcount expands.

Lever Likely value Feasibility Should it be a prerequisite? Recommended stance
Address enrichment
bureau + living address confidence
HighMediumYesHighest-value prerequisite. It directly reduces wasted visits and should be built into dispatch gating.
Address prioritization algorithmHighHighYesImplement early. Use the same mindset as third-party-number prioritization.
Image sharing

MediumHighOperationally yesInclude in rollout. Strong governance and QA benefit, even if cash impact is indirect.
Rapid revisitsHighHighYesOperational evidence is strong. Put a 4-7 day revisit SLA into the launch design.
Visiting-hour adjustmentMediumHighNoQuick win. Shift harder accounts to late afternoon and evening.
Geo-location check + silent pushesMediumMedium / lowNot yetInteresting, but needs tighter legal and conduct design before becoming a proceed/stop gate.

Immediate next steps, and what happens if the CDMX launch works

The rollout should be framed as a sequence, not as a one-time national decision. The safest pattern is: launch a July 1 CDMX 31-60 matched benchmark, run Kobra Pilot 4 in a narrow Jalisco core, deploy the highest-value improvements, then expand only if the gates are hit.

Step 1

Launch CDMX 31-60 on July 1 as a matched benchmark: internal in the core prioritized boroughs and Kobra in a matched carve-out under the same targeting rules.

Step 2

Run Kobra Pilot 4 in Jalisco 91-120 with Guadalajara + Zapopan as the core. Add San Pedro Tlaquepaque only if week-1 volume is insufficient.

Step 3

Put improvements live from day 0: address enrichment, address prioritization, image sharing, fast revisit SLA, visiting-hour adjustment, and recent-contact suppression test.

Step 4

Set a hard decision gate after the first operating cycle and expand only if the matched results prove productivity, conduct stability, and positive economics.

If the CDMX benchmark works, then expand in this order Why this is the next move What has to be true first
1. Add reserve CDMX boroughs
Gustavo A. Madero, then Iztacalco, then later-wave areas selectively
Lowest execution risk. Same city, same team, same oversight model, and the cleanest way to keep the Kobra comparison honest.Internal sustains roughly 10+ visits/day and at least matches Kobra on cure while beating it on unit economics.
2. Extend into adjacent Estado de México dense metros
Ecatepec, Nezahualcóyotl, Naucalpan, Tlalnepantla, then adjacent clusters
Best way to deepen utilization using contiguous urban density rather than opening a totally new operating cell immediately.CDMX proof is stable, address quality holds, and the wider footprint does not break routing or conduct controls.
3. Open the next full internal regional cell in Jalisco 31-60Jalisco is still the strongest replication candidate once the internal model itself is proven.The bank is comfortable funding a second internal cell and the first cell is operationally stable enough to replicate, not just to manage locally.
Clean answer on expansion sequencing: if the July 1 CDMX benchmark goes well, do not jump immediately to broad national rollout. First expand within CDMX reserve areas, then into adjacent Estado de México dense metros, and only then replicate the full internal model into Jalisco as the next regional hub.
