Idea Book: Financial Projections

Revenue, cost, and runway model tied to the assumptions in your Idea Book and pricing.

Financial Projections translate your Idea Book story into a numerical spine: revenue build, cost structure, runway, and a few testable levers (CAC/LTV, margins).

Structural overview: Idea Book roadmap, section fields, save, and AI entry points

Where to open it

• In-app: Open this section in the Idea Book (Plans → Idea Book).

UI at a glance

• Roadmap shows which Idea Book steps are complete, next, or locked behind prerequisites.
• Section body is the structured form for this step; scroll for extended fields where offered.
• Use Save as you go; watch for AI on individual fields or bulk enrich in the section header when enabled.

AI and automation

AI drafts from other Idea Book fields so wording stays consistent across steps. It does not replace customer discovery — pair with Validation when you need evidence. Pricing steps apply explicit locks that can disable AI until you unlock them.

Data and persistence

Stored with your venture’s Idea Book row for this step; downstream plans (GTM, Sales, Marketing, and others) may read these fields for gates and suggestions.

Getting started

• Open the section when the roadmap shows it as available (complete prerequisite fields first if it’s locked).
• Capture key fields before long-form prompts so AI and exports stay coherent.
• Save before you jump to another section; revisit after validation or pricing changes.

How to use this section

• Make assumptions explicit (prices, volumes, churn, hiring) and trace them to other sections.
• Avoid “template” figures; the product expects this venture’s context.
• Revisit when market size or pricing changes significantly.

Why it matters

This is where you prove internal consistency; investors stress-test numbers against your words.
