financial-model-review skillB

financial-model-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from lool-ventures/founder-skills: Reviews startup financial models for investor readiness — validates unit economics, stress-tests runway scenarios, and benchmarks metrics against stage-appropriate targets. Accepts Excel, CSV, or text. Run the source-cited stage benchmarks rather than recalling them. Also covers plain-language money questions with no file attached — 'how long do I have?', 'when do I run out of cash?', 'is a 4x burn multiple bad?' — which run the real calculator instead of mental arithmetic..

What the file says

# Financial Model Review Skill

Help startup founders understand how investors will evaluate their financial model — validating structure, unit economics, runway, and metrics against stage-appropriate standards. Produce a thorough review with actionable improvements. The tone is founder-first: a rigorous but supportive coaching session.
