Burn Rate Analyzer
Analyze spending patterns and project runway with scenario modeling
Categorize expenses from bank or accounting exports, calculate burn rate trends and monthly totals, model runway under current trajectory, growth mode, and survival mode scenarios, and surface cost-cutting opportunities with minimal operational impact
When
Cash feels tighter and you need to know runway, not just current spend.
Input
Bank/accounting export — transactions with dates, amounts, categories, and current balance
Output
Burn rate analysis with categorized spending, runway projections, and cost optimization recommendations

How
Categorizes expenses, calculates burn rate trends, models runway under different growth scenarios
Input
Bank/accounting export — transactions with dates, amounts, categories, and current balance
Output
Burn rate analysis with categorized spending, runway projections, and cost optimization recommendations
Step by step
- 1Categorize all transactions by type and calculate monthly totals, flagging recurring costs and anomalies.
- 2Calculate current monthly burn rate and project runway under three scenarios — current, growth, and survival.
- 3Identify top cost-cutting opportunities with minimal operational impact.
- 4Evaluate categorization accuracy, scenario realism, and actionability of recommendations.
