Payment reminder schedule for net 30 invoices

Net 30 means the invoice is due 30 days after it is issued. Here is when each reminder should go out, counted from the issue date and from the due date.

When	Relative to due	Step
Day 27 after issue	T-3	courtesy	template
Day 31 after issue	T+1	friendly	template
Day 37 after issue	T+7	firm	template
Day 44 after issue	T+14	final	template
Day 60 after issue	T+30	escalate	template

The default ladder. Two weeks of grace before the fee is standard for net 15 to net 30 and matches most contract wording.

BadCop configuration

Drop this into badcop.toml. With net_days = 30, invoices without an explicit due date get one automatically.
