Face the runway math: months left at current burn, the default-alive test, and the decision tree — cut, raise, or push to profitability — with dates.
Run my runway check. Numbers: {{numbers}} (cash, monthly burn gross and net, revenue and its growth rate, anything committed — hires, contracts).
Compute: months of runway at current net burn (and with committed spend included — the honest number), the default-alive test (does revenue growth reach breakeven before cash reaches zero? show the crossover math or its absence), then the decision tree with DATES: if default-dead — the cut scenario (what spending goes to reach default-alive, and the deadline for deciding), the raise scenario (raises take 3-6 months: my start-raising-by date is runway minus that — probably sooner than I think), and the revenue push (what growth rate would save it — is that rate believable given history?). End with the pre-commitment: the calendar date and cash number at which I execute the backup plan without renegotiating with myself.
