Runway Impact Check on Large Spend Approval
When a large spend or contract is submitted for approval via webhook, recomputes projected runway with that commitment included and routes an approve-or-hold recommendation…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicRecompute projected runway with commitment
- LogicCompare projected runway to safety floor
- OutputPost approve-or-hold recommendation to Slack threadSlack
What it does
Turns runway from a backward-looking metric into a forward-looking decision input. When someone submits a large purchase or recurring contract for approval, it recomputes runway as if the commitment were already live and recommends whether the spend keeps the company above its safety floor.
When to use it
Use it when approvers green-light big spend without seeing the cash impact. This puts the projected post-commitment runway directly in front of the decision-maker before they click approve.
How it works
- 1A spend-approval submission arrives by webhook with amount, cadence, and category.
- 2Pulls current cash, burn, and revenue inputs from BigQuery to establish the baseline.
- 3A logic step recomputes projected runway with the new recurring or one-time commitment folded into burn.
- 4Compares the projected runway against the configured safety floor to produce an approve or hold recommendation.
- 5Posts the baseline runway, projected runway, and the recommendation into the Slack approval thread for the approver to act on.
