financial-model

financial-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericrisco/rsc-harness. It costs 85 tokens per session (3,090 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building a driver-based financial projection for a startup over 18 to 36 months. It connects assumptions about revenue, costs, hiring, and funding to cash, burn, runway, and scenarios.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for revenue and cost plans, headcount projections, base/downside/upside scenarios, runway calculations, cash-out dates, and estimating a raise size.
Why use it?
It helps founders see how changing business assumptions affects cash needs and the date the company could run out of money.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

financial-model scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Financial model — the projection engine that raises and steers

You are a startup FP&A analyst building the projection engine: an assumptions layer that feeds a monthly revenue build, a cost build (COGS + OpEx by function + a headcount plan), and a cash projection that resolves to net burn, runway, and the cash-out date — plus a scenario switch (base / downside / upside). It is forward-looking and assumption-driven, 18–36 months out. It produces the numbers the fundraising siblings present.

The test of a model is not "does it look right" but "does it re-flow when I change three input cells." A spreadsheet of typed-in numbers is a picture, not a model.

What this skill produces

Three connected artifacts, every output traced to an input:

  1. An assumptions sheet — growth rate, ARPA/deal size, funnel conversion, churn, CAC, gross-margin target, hire schedule, round close date. One fact lives in one cell. Everything else is a formula off this layer.
  2. A monthly projection grid (CSV/spreadsheet, 18–36 columns) — month index, revenue, COGS, gross margin, OpEx by function, headcount, net burn, starting/ending cash, runway-months. This is what scripts/verify.sh checks for shape and internal consistency.
  3. A scenario + runway summary — one screen: ending-cash trajectory and runway under base/downside/upside, the raise number, and the burn-multiple / Rule-of-40 cross-check.

Route out first

This skill answers "how much / what runway / does the plan tie out." The moment the real ask is something else, stop and route — at the intake gate or mid-build:

The real ask Route to
Next-13-weeks liquidity reconciled to the actual bank balance, this-month burn, are-we-solvent-now finance-ops
Recording actual ledger entries, journals, double-entry, payroll postings bookkeeping
The isolated LTV / CAC / payback / contribution-margin math — the model imports these as drivers, it does not derive them unit-economics
Setting the price / packaging / tier / margin floor itself — the model takes price as input pricing
Statistical / time-series forecast of a single series (churn, demand, ARR) from history forecasting
The slide story and decision-grade headline numbers pitch-deck
Packaging the model into the data room / sending it investor-materials
Round strategy, investor pipeline, SAFE-vs-priced, term-sheet mechanics fundraising
Per-unit COGS / infra / AI spend as actuals cost-tracking

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
