What problem does it solve? Founders of cash-negative businesses often discover they are running out of money too late to act. This Skill continuously monitors burn rate, months of runway, and the projected out-of-cash date, firing tiered alerts early enough to raise capital, cut burn, or accelerate collections while options still exist. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Burn and Runway Calculation: Computes gross burn for pre-revenue and net burn for post-revenue businesses, with averaged and worst-month burn when burn is volatile. - Tiered Alerting: Classifies runway into healthy (>12 months), warning (6-12 months), and critical (<6 months) bands, escalating on band crossings and adjusting for known lumpy flows like tax payments. - Runway Extension Levers: Quantifies the revenue increase or burn cut needed to reach a safe runway, ordered by speed and reversibility. - Use Case: A founder with $180,000 in the bank and rising monthly burn of $28k-$34k asks when cash runs out; the Skill computes a critical 5.3-month runway, adjusts for an upcoming $20k tax payment, and recommends cutting roughly $19k per month or accelerating collections. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to calculate your current burn rate and months of runway from your cash balance and recent monthly cash expenses, and alert you if runway drops below six months.
