KNOW EVERYTHING, DO ANYTHING
WITH NATHAN CAFEARO

Talk through a forecast
Companion to: Get the Boring Stuff Off Your Desk

STARTING PROMPT
Interview me one question at a time about [business idea] so we can build a [12]-month cash-flow forecast. Establish opening cash, income, costs and payment timing. Mark unknowns as assumptions, keep formulas visible, and show a base case plus slower-sales and higher-cost scenarios. Ask me to verify the inputs before treating the forecast as ready.

CHECK YOUR WORK
1. Confirm opening cash.
2. Separate sales from payment dates.
3. Label unknowns and keep formulas editable.
4. Check a slower-sales and a higher-cost scenario.
