What this skill does

1. 1Models burn rate and runway in base, bull, and bear scenarios with hiring plan inputs, surfacing the month at which each scenario hits a critical threshold.
2. 2Analyzes unit economics per cohort (LTV) and per channel (CAC) rather than blended figures, tracking payback periods and LTV:CAC trend over time.
3. 3Builds or reviews the financial section of a board pack: P&L summary, cash position, burn multiple trend, variance to plan with one-sentence explanations, and a forecast with confidence levels.
4. 4Models fundraising scenarios including dilution, cap table projections, and multi-round impacts, and produces a fundraising readiness package.

When to use

• Runway is under 18 months and you need a scenario model before deciding whether to cut costs or accelerate fundraising.
• Your burn multiple has been above 2x for two consecutive months and you need to understand what's driving it.
• You're preparing for a Series A and need the financial narrative, unit economics slides, and data room ready.
• Unit economics look fine on a blended basis but you suspect earlier cohorts are masking deterioration in recent ones.
