FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate cash runway and burn rate for a board update?

Runway and cash burn calculations require your current cash balance, historical burn data, and forward-looking assumptions. This skill ingests those inputs to compute months of runway and output a structured report for board updates.

What financial data do I need to prepare a runway and cash snapshot?

You need your current cash balance and monthly burn history to prepare a runway snapshot. Optional unit economics like CAC, LTV, and payback period can be included if available to enrich the financial model.

Can I use spreadsheet and BI data to compute runway and perform scenario planning?

Yes, you can use cash balance and burn data from spreadsheets or BI tools to compute runway. The skill processes these inputs to perform calculations and output a structured report for scenario planning and fundraising prep.

How does burn history factor into runway calculations for fundraising prep?

Burn history establishes your average monthly cash burn, which is applied against your current cash balance to project your runway in months. This calculation provides a clear financial snapshot for fundraising preparation.

Are unit economics required to generate a cash and runway report?

Unit economics are not required to generate a runway report. The skill computes your cash position and burn trend as a baseline, and optionally integrates CAC, LTV, and payback metrics if that data is available.
