Template
Analyze the startup's burn and runway: 1) Compute gross burn (total cash outflows) and net burn (outflows minus collections) monthly from the data provided, distinguishing recurring from one-time items. 2) Compute current runway: cash balance of {cash_balance} divided by average net burn over the trailing three months. 3) Model the burn trajectory: apply the hiring plan and revenue ramp described to project burn forward, and recompute runway on the projected basis. 4) Identify the default-alive test: does the revenue growth rate reach cash-flow breakeven before cash runs out? 5) Stress test: runway if revenue growth halves and one planned enterprise deal slips two quarters. 6) Recommend the fundraise timing: months of runway remaining at the point a raise should begin, given a {fundraise_months}-month process assumption.
