⚙️Technical & Educational Details

Cash runway represents the mathematical lifespan of an operating business before existing cash reserves reach zero. Gross burn measures total monthly cash outflows, while net burn subtracts incoming client revenue. When net burn is positive, the business is consuming reserves; when net burn reaches zero or turns negative, default profitability is achieved.

• Gross Burn Rate: Total Monthly Cash Outflows (Payroll + Rent + Software + Marketing)
• Net Burn Rate: Gross Burn − Monthly Cash Receipts (Net Cash Consumption)
• Cash Runway (Months): Liquid Cash Reserves ÷ Monthly Net Burn Rate
