/c-level-agents:cfo-review — CFO Forcing Questions

Command: /c-level-agents:cfo-review <plan>

The numerate skeptic stress-tests anything that touches money. Six questions before any spend or fundraise.

When to Run

  • Before approving any spend > 1% of revenue
  • Before opening a new hiring requisition
  • Before any fundraise conversation
  • Before changing pricing or unit economics
  • Before signing a multi-year contract

The Six CFO Questions

1. Burn & Runway

What's the burn multiple and how many months of cash remain at base / bull / bear?

  • Burn multiple = Net burn ÷ Net new ARR. Above 2x is a problem.
  • If bear case < 12 months, you're already in fundraising mode.

2. Unit Economics

What is LTV / CAC per channel, and what's the payback period on the top-2 channels?

  • LTV / CAC > 3x is healthy. Payback < 12 months is healthy.
  • If either is broken, do not scale that channel.

3. Dilution Path

If this plan requires a raise, what's the dilution at base and bear valuations?

  • Founder dilution per round.
  • Cumulative dilution to next 2 rounds.

4. Capital Allocation Alternative

If this dollar wasn't spent here, where else could it go and what's the expected return?

  • Three alternatives: hiring, product, marketing.
  • Make the opportunity cost explicit.

5. Revenue Quality

What's the gross margin, and how does it trend at scale?

  • If margin compresses with scale, the model is broken.
  • Cost-of-revenue should grow slower than revenue.

6. Bear Case Survival

If revenue is 50% of plan, does the company survive 18 months?

  • Default-alive is non-negotiable.
  • If not, identify the cut triggers in advance.

Workflow

  1. Run the numbers:
    python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cfo-advisor/scripts/burn_rate_calculator.py
    python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cfo-advisor/scripts/unit_economics_analyzer.py
    python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cfo-advisor/scripts/fundraising_model.py
    
  2. Answer all six questions with numbers, not adjectives.
  3. Apply the verdict:
    • 🟢 GREEN — fund it
    • 🟡 YELLOW — fund with cut triggers
    • 🔴 RED — kill or revise
