You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Cash Flow & Inventory Investment Model.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I'm planning my inventory investment for the next {{quarter_6_months}}. Current situation: {{products}}, {{monthly_revenue}}, {{available_capital}}. Build a cash flow model covering: inventory purchase timing, sales velocity assumptions, revenue collection timing by platform, and operating expenses.
- Step 2: Identify the inventory investment required to grow from current velocity to {{target_velocity}} without stocking out.
- Step 3: Evaluate financing options (revenue-based financing, credit terms, inventory loans) and their margin impact.
- Step 4: Create a monthly cash flow forecast for the next 6 months. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

PRO TIP

The biggest cash flow trap in e-commerce is the success trap — faster growth requires more inventory investment before the revenue arrives. Model your cash position at 2× your current growth rate before you need that capital, not after.
