Frequently asked questions
Why is cash different from profit?
Profit is accrual-based. Cash depends on collection timing, payment timing, payroll timing, financing, and opening cash. Review Cash Timing and Cashflow.
Why is runway negative?
The model is forecasting cash below zero. This is a valid warning, not necessarily a formula error. Review assumptions, timing, hiring, and financing.
Can I use this for client work?
No. Tier 1 is licensed for one named user and one legal entity for internal use. A future consultant/commercial license will cover client work.
Can you customize the model?
Customization is not included in Tier 1. Higher tiers may include implementation guidance or defined customization.
What information should I send?
Order email, platform, workbook version, Excel/Google Sheets, tab, cell, screenshot, and exact reproduction steps. Redact confidential data.
