Build Your Vision
How to Read Your Forecast Results
You'll know how much cash your plan takes, when it turns profitable and when it delivers your target.
Before You Start
- Where: "View Results" on the Blueprint's dashboard or at the foot of Build, once you've generated the forecast.
- Plan: your own results need a paid tier. On the free plan, you see "Example Results" with "Unlock My Results".
Steps
- Read the top three numbers. "To start" is the peak cash deficit, purchases included. "Profitable" is when monthly cash flow turns positive. "Hit your number" is when you cross your Target.

- Work down the page. "01 The journey" puts milestones on a timeline. "02 The launch ramp" splits "Total to start" into the purchases made before cash hits its lowest point and the business losses that make up the rest. "03 The numbers behind it" walks revenue to cash flow, quarterly or monthly.
- Switch views. With a Freedom Number target, the "My Blueprint" view adds your personal finances. The "Only" view shows the business alone.

Common Questions
What if "To start" is more cash than I have?
Slow a curve on Build, spend less on Invest, or add a loan on Funding. Then regenerate and check again.
