Runway Analysis: model a decision, see the runway impact

Runway Analysis is now live in Seapoint Reporting. You can now model any decision — a hire, a one-off bill, a new revenue contract — against your live cash and see what it does to your runway in seconds. No exporting, no reconciling, no spreadsheet.

We built the tool founders need to plan ahead

Real-time runway tells you where you stand. It doesn’t tell you what happens if you make the hire, cut costs, or have a big one-off bill you know is coming. Answering that has meant exporting your data, rebuilding the line items, reconciling balances from each account and then changing one cell — slow enough that it only happens once a decision is already on top of you, and fragile enough that nobody quite trusts it by the third question.

Open it and start from your real numbers

Nothing to import, nothing to set up, nothing to reconcile. Runway Analysis is a new tab in Reporting and it opens already populated from the accounts you’ve connected: estimated runway, projected cash-out date, monthly burn, and the change since last month. This is the part standalone forecasting tools can’t do — they still make you export and reconcile before you can ask a single question.

See what’s actually burning the cash

Under the forecast, your burn broken down by category — payroll and benefits, software and subscriptions, office — each shown as a share of total burn and as the months of runway it costs you. A month-by-month table tracks closing balance, burn and remaining runway as it draws down.

Build a scenario and watch runway move

Open Scenarios and describe the change: money in or out, the amount, the category it hits, the month it starts, whether it repeats, when it stops, and whether it grows or tapers. A one-off legal bill. A recurring hire. A contract that ramps over two quarters. Save it and the forecast, the table and the headline runway update immediately.

Stack scenarios and compare futures

Toggle a scenario off and you’re back to today. Toggle several on and you’re comparing futures rather than guessing between them — the hire and the contract together, or the bill without the revenue that was supposed to cover it.

Runway is something you should be able to test, not just track

Reporting closed the distance between your financial reality and your understanding of it. This closes a different one: between a decision and its consequence. The founders who make good calls under uncertainty aren’t the ones with the most detailed model — they’re the ones who can check a decision against their actual position in the time it takes to have the conversation. Before the hire, before the contract, before the board meeting where someone asks what it does to runway.

It’s not a full FP&A model, and that’s intentional

We’re not trying to build a full FP&A model. It doesn’t forecast every line. It’s calibrated for pre-seed — lighter than FP&A, richer than back-of-envelope — and built for founders, or whoever is running finance, to answer one question quickly and act on it. If you need driver-based departmental planning, this isn’t that.

It’s designed to help founders make the hard calls, quickly

Most founders aren’t trying to build a finance function. They’re trying to make a handful of calls a year that are hard to reverse — the first senior hire, the office, the contract that changes the shape of next year. Those are the moments this is built for. Open the tab, test the decision against the money you actually have, and go and make it.
