Financial Projection

What it is

A narrative financial plan: drivers, headcount, and cash milestones. It complements your spreadsheet; it does not replace your accountant.

Why it matters

Cash timing kills startups more than P&L optimism. A narrative projection explains drivers so your model has a story, not only cells.

Who it's for

Founders planning runway, grant applicants, and teams aligning on hiring and burn trade-offs.

What you'll find inside

• Revenue driver assumptions
• Opex buckets and hiring cadence
• Runway and key inflection points

When to use it

Raise planning, grant applications, and cofounder alignment on burn.

After you generate it

Sync monthly actuals, adjust drivers after pricing or headcount changes, and share the narrative summary in board prep.
