Decision support
What decision are you trying to make?
Pick the question in front of you. We map what needs to be modeled, which service answers it, and the proof that it has been done before.
Select your question
- Your question
How much runway do we have?
- What needs to be modeled
A rolling cash-flow forecast connects your burn rate, hiring plan, and revenue assumptions to show exactly how many months of runway remain, and what changes it.
- Recommended service
Ongoing strategic finance support for forecasting, fundraising, reporting, and management decisions.
- Relevant proof
Services
Three ways we help
Each service addresses a different type of financial decision, and each is built on a different model structure.
Method
From assumptions to scenario ranges
Operating assumptions feed a driver-based model. The model returns a range, not a single number, so you can see the upside and the downside before committing.
Assumptions
Hover an assumption to widen the range
Global reach
We help clients anywhere in the world
Remote-first engagements across 20+ countries, anchored in Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

In their words
01 / 04
After nearly 30 years of building complex business models in spreadsheets, I became aware of the Causal application through a business associate of mine here in Tampa. After acquiring the application, Causal's founders pointed me to Raphael as an expert in using their tools and building complex models. Raphael was a Godsend in working through building out a series of business models we have used in our latest fundraising efforts. Not only were the models exceptionally well built, our investors loved them as they clearly depicted "how" our business operated and the means by which revenue and costs flowed across numerous business lines.
Sector knowledge
The variables that decide the answer
Every sector has a different set of numbers that move the outcome. Select one to see what we model first.
Variables that decide the answer
The SaaS industry places a strong emphasis on generating recurring revenue and the cost of customer acquisition. Revenue recognition and forecasting can be complicated due to pricing packages, subscription packages, and client behavior.
- How does churn at different tiers affect ARR?
- What CAC is sustainable given our LTV?
- How long is our runway at current burn?
