# Context
Original working context:
- Build a cash flow management system for {{business_name}} with monthly revenue of ₹{{amount}} and current cash reserves of ₹{{amount}}.
- Step 1: Create a 13-week cash flow forecast template (weekly inflows and outflows).
- Step 2: Identify cash flow gaps (weeks where outflows exceed inflows).
- Step 3: Design 5 tactics to improve cash flow (faster collections, slower payments, advance billing, deposit policy, credit line).
- Step 4: Build a cash reserve target (how many weeks of operating expenses to keep).
- Step 5: Create a cash flow early warning system — what signals mean trouble is coming.

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.

When to use

When running out of cash despite being profitable — the #1 cause of small business failure in India.

PRO TIP

A business can be profitable on paper but cash-flow negative in reality — always know your bank balance 13 weeks forward, not just today.
