Runway

How many months until you run out of cash at your current burn.

How it's calculated

Runway = cash in bank ÷ monthly net burn

Why it matters

Under ~6 months of runway, fundraising or cutting costs becomes urgent.

Burn Rate

How much cash you spend (net of revenue) each month. 'Gross burn' is total spend; 'net burn' subtracts revenue.

Default Alive / Default Dead

Will you reach profitability before the money runs out on current trajectory? 'Alive' if yes, 'dead' if not.
