In today’s uncertain economy, managing cash runway is a top priority for CFOs and finance leaders. But here’s the challenge: cost-cutting can help you survive the quarter—but if you’re not careful, it can sabotage growth in the next one.
Let’s walk through a common, high-stakes scenario. A finance leader at a mid-sized SaaS company sees warning signs: revenue is forecasted to dip by 15% over the next 6 months. The runway drops from 8.2 to just 5.5 months.
So what’s the smart move?
Instead of opening a spreadsheet, they open Fore Eye.
The Conversation Begins:
You: "What’s our cash runway if revenue drops by 15% over the next 6 months?"
Fore Eye:
- Monthly burn increases to $820K
- Runway drops to 5.5 months
Suggested Scenarios:
- Scenario A: CapEx deferral → adds 0.9 months
- Scenario B: Cut marketing by 20% → extends runway to 7.1 months
You: "Won’t cutting marketing hurt future sales?"
Fore Eye:
- Historical data shows a 20% cut could reduce pipeline by ~$2.6M
- Estimated revenue dip in Q+2: ~7.5%
Smarter Scenario Modeling
Fore Eye offered a balanced alternative: cut marketing by 10% instead. That extended the runway to 6.4 months with only a ~3.5% projected dip in future revenue. Even better? It suggested reallocating budget to SEO and partner-led growth channels with lower CAC.
Total time to decision: under 30 minutes.

Traditional modeling takes hours—sometimes days. Fore Eye gives CFOs the power to simulate, forecast, and optimize strategies in real time using natural language.
In one chat, the CFO was able to:
- Understand the cash impact of a revenue drop

This is strategic finance in action.
