SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns messy, source-by-source bookkeeping data into a founder-ready burn and runway one-pager with auditable math and clearly separated recurring vs. one-time effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Founder cash runway report: Computes current cash, trailing 3-month and 6-month net burn, and runway months from the most recent accounting and/or bank balances.
  • Sensitivity analysis: Shows how runway changes under ±20% burn scenarios to help you model risk without guessing.
  • Cost driver breakdown: Identifies the top-3 cost drivers behind burn with citations to the exact P&L file paths and underlying journal entry identifiers.

Quick Start

Ask to generate the founder one-pager by running the Check My Burn and Runway skill so you get cash on hand, trailing burn, runway months, a ±20% sensitivity table, and the top-3 cost drivers with citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about check-my-burn-and-runway

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate burn rate and runway from bookkeeping data?

Calculate runway by sourcing current cash per account from accounting connections or bank statements, computing trailing 3-month and 6-month net burn from P&Ls while excluding one-time adjustments, and generating a founder-ready one-pager with sensitivity tables.

What's the best way to do a burn rate sensitivity analysis for my startup?

Perform burn rate sensitivity analysis by applying ±20% burn scenarios to your trailing net burn figures, which shows how runway months shift under different cost assumptions and helps model financial risk.

Can I use Xero or QuickBooks data to generate a runway report?

Yes, you can use Xero or QuickBooks to generate a runway report by sourcing current cash per account from the accounting connection and computing trailing net burn from P&L data to produce an auditable founder one-pager.

How do I identify top cost drivers from my P&L for runway calculations?

Identify top cost drivers by analyzing trailing net burn from P&Ls to generate a top-3 cost driver breakdown, complete with citations to exact P&L file paths and underlying journal entry identifiers for full auditability.

Do I need an accounting connection to calculate runway, or can I use bank statements?

An accounting connection is preferred but not required; you can source current cash from the last bank statement or manually paste balances, though an accounting connection ensures more reliable trailing net burn computation from P&Ls.
