  • 13-week rolling forecast & scenarios: Build base / bear / bull scenarios, run a 13-week rolling model, and compute runway and minimum cash points.
  • Inventory & one-time outflows: Model inventory lead times, supplier payment terms, ad-billing lags, tax remittances, and discrete one-time expenses.
  • Use case: Finance teams use this Skill to reconcile payout timing, plan inventory purchases, and produce investor-ready runway scenarios.
