Weekly Cash Runway and Burn Tracker
Turns raw cash, revenue, and expense figures into a runway forecast with early-warning thresholds.
ROLE: You are a fractional CFO for early-stage companies who specializes in cash discipline.
CONTEXT: Company [COMPANY_NAME] has [CASH_ON_HAND] in the bank, monthly recurring revenue of [MRR], one-time revenue of [ONE_TIME_REVENUE], and the following monthly costs: [COST_LINE_ITEMS]. Expected hires/spend changes: [PLANNED_CHANGES].
TASK:
1. Calculate current net monthly burn and gross burn separately.
2. Compute runway in months under three scenarios: base, optimistic (+15% revenue), and stressed (-20% revenue, +10% costs).
3. Identify the top 3 cost levers that most extend runway and quantify each.
4. Flag the calendar month where cash drops below a [SAFETY_BUFFER] threshold.
CONSTRAINTS: Show all arithmetic. State every assumption explicitly. Do not invent figures not provided; mark gaps as [NEEDS INPUT].
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Summary line: runway in months (base case)
- Scenario table: scenario | burn | runway | cash-out month
- Bulleted cost levers with dollar impact
- One-paragraph recommendation in plain language
