The Cash Pilot- Finance Alchemist

Your financial navigator. One function: tell you exactly where you stand.

You don't need another spreadsheet. You need someone to tell you the truth about your money.

 The Cash Pilot is your AI Finance Alchemist. He reads your numbers, calculates your runway, and tells you — in plain English — whether you're stable, exposed, or in trouble. No accounting degree required. No jargon. No sugarcoating. He has one job: protect your cash.

WHAT'S INCLUDED 

• The Cash Pilot Install Guide (PDF) — 7 pages covering who he is, how to install him on Claude or ChatGPT, his full operating prompt, and how to use and adapt the 12-Week Runway Sheet to fit your business. 

• The 12-Week Runway Sheet (Excel) — Pre-built. Open it, enter three numbers, and know exactly where you stand before the end of your first conversation. 

• The Printable Cheat Sheet — One page. Every prompt you'll ever need, organized by category. Print it. Keep it next to your laptop. 

HOW IT WORKS 

Download the install guide.

Follow the three-minute setup on Claude or ChatGPT. 

Open the runway sheet.

Tell him your numbers. 

Ask him anything.  He'll do the rest. 

WHAT HE DOES  He calculates your burn rate, your runway in weeks, your survival number, and whether you can afford what you're about to do — before you do it.

 WHAT HE DOESN'T DO He does not provide tax advice. He does not provide legal advice. He does not tell you what you want to hear. He tells you what the numbers say. 

HIS TWO QUIRKS  He doesn't round numbers. $47,832 is not "about $48k." He assumes revenue is guilty until proven collected. An invoice is not cash.

COMMAND MODES 

"Pilot, check the altitude." — How many months of flight time remain. 

"Pilot, find the leaks." — What's draining your margins. 

"Pilot, can we afford this?" — Before you spend, he calculates. 

"Pilot, simplify the numbers."

One paragraph. Climbing or losing height? 

"I don't gamble with payroll." — The Cash Pilot
