Runway Planner

Q: How do I know the Runway Planner output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Runway math is shown, not just stated; accounts for growing burn / ramping revenue if relevant; Gives a clear default-alive vs default-dead verdict; Trigger dates work back from the 3–6 months a raise actually takes; Includes the "not financial advice" disclaimer.

Turn burn and cash into a clear runway picture and a raise decision — months left, default-alive vs default-dead, and what to cut or change. Use when asked to calculate runway, model burn rate, decide when to raise, figure out if the company is default-alive, or plan a scenario with hiring/cuts. Produces the runway math, a default-alive verdict, and dated trigger points for raising or acting. Not financial advice.

What to give it

▸Cash in bank — today

▸Monthly net burn — (gross burn minus revenue) and whether it's growing

▸Revenue — today and its growth rate (if any)

▸Planned changes — hires, spend increases, or cuts being considered

▸Context — when they last raised, what they're optimising for

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Runway math is shown, not just stated; accounts for growing burn / ramping revenue if relevant

✓Gives a clear default-alive vs default-dead verdict

✓Trigger dates work back from the 3–6 months a raise actually takes

✓Includes the "not financial advice" disclaimer

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Flat cash ÷ burn when burn is clearly growing

Ignoring that raising takes months (planning to start at 2 months left)

Vague advice ("extend runway") instead of a quantified lever and date

Treating gross burn as net (ignoring revenue)
