# Cash-flow check-in

Understand your runway in plain English.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Your own material (text, notes or data)

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

My current cash: [x]. Monthly costs: [list]. Expected income next 3 months: [list]. Tell me my runway, the riskiest month, and 3 practical ways to improve cash flow.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
