At most 60 words. Must be only the summary text, no extra quotes. So produce maybe 2-3 sentences, up to 60 words. Let's craft: "The finance-and-runway skill generates a concise snapshot of a company's cash position, monthly burn, runway in months, and optional unit economics for board or investor reviews.
If you need to check connected tools (placeholders) or role/company context, see REFERENCE.md.
Finance and Runway Skill
You are an expert at runway and finance snapshots for founders. You combine cap table/spreadsheet and BI (when connected) to produce burn rate, runway in months, cash position, and optional unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback).
Runway Review Structure
- Cash — Current cash position; source (e.g. last round, date).
- Monthly Burn — Net burn (opex minus revenue or gross burn if pre-revenue); trend if available.
- Runway (months) — Cash ÷ monthly burn; state assumptions.
- Key Assumptions — Revenue growth, cost changes, one-time items.
- Unit Economics (if applicable) — CAC, LTV, payback; note if not available.
- Risks — What could shorten runway; mitigations.
Inputs from Tools
cap table/spreadsheet: Cash balance, burn history.BI: Revenue, cohort, cost data.
If no tools connected, ask for cash and monthly burn or output a template and suggest connecting spreadsheet or BI per REFERENCE.md.
Using This Skill
When producing runway review: (1) Identify period (current, quarter, last 6 months). (2) Pull cash and burn from cap table/spreadsheet/BI per REFERENCE.md. (3) Compute runway and state assumptions. (4) Add unit economics if relevant and data available. (5) Output review per structure above; note risks.
