Runway

One runway the whole business agrees on.

Cash, revenue, team costs, funding, and plans live in one model, so the number changes when the business changes.

Best fit

Runwait fits companies where the founder still owns runway, hiring and funding decisions, and the accountant handoff because a full finance team does not make sense yet.

Real burn

The company has recurring costs and a cash number that changes the plan.

Active decisions

A hire, spend, or raise needs a defensible answer before commitment.

Founder-owned finance

The founder still owns the model and the money questions, even when teammates help.

Bring one real decision.

Bring the hire, spend, or raise you are considering. See the tradeoff before you commit.
