Is this just for modeling fun? Hard to get an idea of minimum cash without talking to management, and using something like 1-2% of sales is sort of false precision. It’s not really a concept that’s related to restricted cash either which usually isn’t included in “cash and cash equivalents” anyways (not sure if your model is building to that or to cash and restricted cash).

I’d honestly just set it to zero, and if you’re worried about not modeling the extra interest from intra-period revolver draws accurately, I’d see if they disclose some kind of average balance.
