What it does

Once a month it builds the runway section of the board deck. It pulls month-end cash and segments burn by department from BigQuery, charts the department mix and total burn trend, and writes a structured Coda page with this month's runway, the change versus last month, and a narrative on what moved.

When to use it

For finance teams that rebuild the same board-deck runway slide every month by hand. Use it to standardize the page, keep the department cut consistent, and free up close week for analysis instead of formatting.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires on the first business day of the month.
  2. 2It queries BigQuery for month-end cash and burn grouped by department.
  3. 3It compares the figures to the prior month to compute deltas and runway change.
  4. 4It generates a stacked department-burn chart for the trailing months.
  5. 5It writes a Coda board page with the runway headline, department table, deltas, and embedded chart.
  6. 6It emails the board-prep owner via Outlook with the Coda link, flagging the page is ready for review.
