USE THE NUMBERS CAREFULLY

Planning aids,
not predictions.

Formulas below are simplified teaching models. Your inputs, tax treatment, accounting policy, business model and jurisdiction can change what a number means. Do not enter confidential information. Reset clears your current browser inputs.

01 · CASH PLANNING

Runway scenario

Estimate months of cash coverage from a starting balance and net monthly burn.

Estimated runway10.0 monthscash ÷ monthly burn

Simple static estimate. It assumes the burn rate does not change and ignores financing, timing and one-off payments.

02 · RECURRING REVENUE

SaaS MRR & ARR

Translate active paying customers and average monthly recurring revenue per account into a simple annualized run rate.

MRR · —ARR · —MRR = accounts × monthly recurring revenue; ARR = MRR × 12

ARR is an annualized recurring-revenue measure, not recognized revenue, cash collected or a forecast.

03 · UNIT ECONOMICS

CAC & LTV scenario

Compare an assumed acquisition cost per new customer with a simplified gross-margin-adjusted customer lifetime value.

CAC · —Gross-margin LTV · —Lifetime-value approximation = monthly revenue × gross margin ÷ monthly churn fraction

A simplified steady-state model. Cohort curves, expansion, contribution margin and acquisition costs outside the selected period may materially change results.

04 · OWNERSHIP SCENARIO

Illustrative dilution

Show how a hypothetical priced investment changes an existing holder’s ownership percentage.

New investor’s post-money share · —Existing holder after round · —Investor % = new investment ÷ (pre-money valuation + new investment)

Illustration only. It omits option pools, convertibles, fees, preferences, multiple share classes and negotiated terms; it is not a valuation or offer.

05 · EVIDENCE REVIEW

Opportunity validation checklist

Mark the evidence you have actually gathered. The result counts completed checks and highlights the next area to investigate.

Evidence checks completed0 of 7Start with direct user evidence and an explicit buyer.

A completed checklist is not a recommendation, endorsement, due diligence result or indication of funding.

06 · SELF-ASSESSMENT

Venture readiness review

Choose the closest current stage for each area. The output is a discussion prompt, not a score that predicts success.

Reflection snapshot0 of 15 evidence pointsBegin by gathering direct evidence about the problem and buyer.

This self-assessment has no pass/fail threshold and is not an investment-readiness decision.
