Cash, burn and runway dashboard

Who it's for

Startup CFOs, founders and fractional CFOs reporting to a board.

What's in it

• Cash in the bank and months of runway
• Net burn (3-month average) and gross burn
• Burn multiple
• Cash and net burn over the last 12 months

The prompt

Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. Fill in the [brackets], then paste your data under it.

Build a cash, burn and runway dashboard from the monthly numbers below.
- Tiles: month-end cash, net burn this month, average net burn (last 3 months), months of runway (cash ÷ average net burn).
- Chart: month-end cash and net burn for the last 12 months.
- One sentence under the chart explaining what changed this month.

My data:
[paste month, ending cash, cash in, cash out for 12 months]

Build it as ONE self-contained HTML file:
- Put all the data inside the file. No API calls, no fetch, no external data.
- Use plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript (inline SVG for charts is fine). If you need a chart library, load it from cdn.jsdelivr.net.
- Add a "data as of" date under the title.
- Make it readable on a laptop and print cleanly to one page if possible.
