What it does

On a weekly schedule it pulls actual cash balance, monthly burn, and committed spend from BigQuery, then projects runway under three spend scenarios (base, conservative, aggressive). It renders a burn-down chart and writes a single Coda one-pager the leadership team can read in two minutes.

When to use it

For finance leads and founders who want a recurring, no-touch runway snapshot instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet each week. Ideal when board members and operators already live in Coda and need the same numbers without asking finance.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday-morning schedule fires the run.
  2. 2It queries BigQuery for the latest cash balance, trailing burn, and contracted commitments.
  3. 3It computes months-of-runway and projected zero-cash date for each of the three spend scenarios.
  4. 4It generates a burn-down line chart image showing the three trajectories.
  5. 5It writes or updates a Coda one-pager doc with the headline runway number, scenario table, and embedded chart.
  6. 6It posts the Coda link to the finance channel so the team knows the brief is fresh.
