SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Founders and operators often approve spending, hiring, or fundraising decisions without rigorous financial scrutiny. This Skill forces a numerate review of any plan that touches money before commitments are made.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Six CFO Questions: Evaluates burn multiple, runway, LTV/CAC, dilution, capital allocation alternatives, gross margin, and bear-case survival.
  • Verdict System: Issues a GREEN, YELLOW, or RED verdict with explicit cut triggers and review checkpoints.
  • Use Case: Before approving a hiring wave or new marketing channel budget, run the review to compute burn multiple and runway scenarios, then receive a fund-or-kill recommendation with concrete next steps.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run /cs:cfo-review on your hiring or fundraising plan to get a verdict with burn, runway, and unit economics numbers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate a spending plan before approving it?▼

Run the CFO review on the plan to answer six questions covering burn multiple, runway scenarios, LTV/CAC, dilution, capital allocation alternatives, and bear-case survival. The output is a GREEN, YELLOW, or RED verdict with concrete next steps.

What is a healthy burn multiple and LTV/CAC ratio?▼

A burn multiple above 2x signals a problem, while LTV/CAC above 3x with payback under 12 months is considered healthy. If either metric is broken, the review recommends not scaling that channel.

When should I run a CFO review on a plan?▼

Run it before approving spend above 1% of revenue, opening a hiring requisition, starting fundraise conversations, changing pricing or unit economics, or signing multi-year contracts.

What happens if the bear case shows less than 12 months of runway?▼

The review treats a bear case under 12 months of runway as already being in fundraising mode. If revenue at 50% of plan cannot sustain 18 months, the plan fails the survival test and cut triggers must be defined in advance.

What does a YELLOW verdict mean in a CFO review?▼

A YELLOW verdict means the plan can be funded but only with explicit cut triggers, such as a metric falling below a threshold, plus a scheduled review checkpoint date.
