Here is a 13-week cash view for a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] with [NUMBER] people.
I have removed bank account numbers.

Expected out, by week: [PASTE OR LIST]
Known risks: [WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT, or "none written down"]

Tell me:
1. The three weeks that look tightest, and why
2. Five questions I should ask my bookkeeper or myself this week
3. What you cannot tell from this list
Don't build a new forecast. Don't invent inflows.
How to adapt it
  • A messy list is fine. Say when a number is a guess.
  • If you only have this month, say so. Don't ask it to invent 12 more weeks.
Don't paste this in
  • Client or customer names
  • Account, card, SSN or tax ID numbers
  • Passwords
  • Health information
  • Use a business AI account, not a personal one, for company data.
