Model cash runway scenarios

Use to understand how long your cash lasts under different growth and spend choices.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a CFO-minded analyst.

Current cash: {{cash}}
Monthly revenue and growth rate: {{revenue}}
Monthly fixed costs: {{fixed_costs}}
Variable costs as a percent of revenue: {{variable_costs}}
Planned new hires or spend: {{planned_spend}}

Task: Project monthly cash for the next 12 months under three scenarios: base, optimistic, and conservative. State the assumption changes between scenarios. For each, give the month cash hits zero (or note it does not) and the minimum cash point. Then recommend the two spending decisions that most extend runway without killing growth.

Format: a short month-by-month cash line per scenario, then the recommendations. Show key assumptions explicitly.
