On-Demand Runway Scenario From a What-If Request
Accepts a what-if request (new hires, a raise, a spend cut), recomputes runway under that scenario against current actuals, and returns the projection plus a saved Coda snapshot.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerWebhook with what-if scenario parametersHTTP webhook
- ActionRead current cash and baseline burn from SnowflakeSnowflake
- LogicApply adjustments to compute scenario runway
- ActionSave scenario snapshot to Coda audit logCoda
- OutputReturn projected runway and zero-cash dateHTTP webhook
What it does
Lets anyone model a decision without touching the master spreadsheet. Submit a scenario (add 5 engineers, close a $2M round, cut marketing 30%) and it overlays those adjustments on current cash and burn to return the resulting runway and zero-cash date.
When to use it
Use it in planning conversations when a founder or department head asks how a hiring plan or budget cut changes the runway. It answers in seconds and keeps a record of every scenario that was run.
How it works
- 1A webhook receives the what-if parameters (headcount delta, one-time inflows, expense adjustments).
- 2An action reads the current cash balance and baseline burn from Snowflake.
- 3A compute step applies the requested adjustments to derive scenario burn and runway.
- 4Save the scenario inputs and result as a timestamped Coda snapshot for the audit trail.
- 5Return the projected runway and zero-cash date in the webhook response.
Set it up

- 1Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
- 2Connect CodaDocs, packs, automations.
- 3Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
