For each week, identify the highest-risk items. - Step 3: Identify cash flow gaps: At what point in the next 13 weeks does cash go below my safety threshold? What triggers that gap? - Step 4: Design the cash flow protection plan: 5 actions to improve cash position (accelerate receivables, delay payables, reduce burn, add revenue). For each action: impact in ₹ and timeline to execute. - Step 5: Create the weekly cash flow review ritual: 15-minute weekly check using the 13-week forecast. What to look at, what triggers action, and when to escalate to board/investors. # 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.
