What it does

Rebuilds your cash-runway number every night from three sources of truth — current bank cash, Stripe net revenue, and modeled operating expenses — and surfaces it to leadership the moment runway drops below a set number of months.

When to use it

Use it when finance reports runway in a spreadsheet that nobody refreshes, and the board only learns about a cash cliff weeks late. This keeps a single computed figure current and quiet until it actually matters.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule fires after bank and billing data have settled.
  2. 2Pulls the latest net Stripe revenue and refund activity for the trailing period.
  3. 3Queries BigQuery for current cash balance and modeled monthly operating expenses.
  4. 4Computes net monthly burn and divides cash by burn to get months of runway.
  5. 5A threshold check decides whether runway is below the configured floor (e.g. 6 months).
  6. 6If below, posts a formatted board alert to the leadership Slack channel with the figure, trend, and the inputs behind it; otherwise the run ends silently.
