Growth -75% 3.0% 10.7 mo never within 24 mo
How the math works. Runway = months until cash hits zero, given current burn minus current revenue with growth and churn applied each month. Breakeven = month when MRR (after churn) first equals or exceeds fixed costs. Sensitivity shows what happens if your growth assumption proves optimistic by 25%, 50%, or 75%. Green if runway exceeds breakeven by 6+ months. Amber if runway exceeds breakeven by 0-6 months. Red if runway falls below breakeven; you would run out of money before becoming self-sustaining at that growth rate.
