Financial Insight
A computed observation about your financial position that highlights a pattern, risk, or opportunity requiring attention, derived from your defined inputs.
What is Financial Insight?
A financial insight is a computed observation that highlights something meaningful in your numbers: revenue concentration risk, burn trending upward, a client paying slower than usual, or budget variance exceeding tolerance.
Unlike raw metrics, insights interpret patterns. A burn rate of $62,000 is a metric. An insight says payroll grew 18% in two months while revenue was flat, compressing runway by 1.4 months. Insights connect data points into decisions.
In deterministic systems like RunwayCal, every insight traces to specific inputs you defined. There is no black-box inference, only arithmetic rules applied to your financial reality.
Why it matters
Dashboards show numbers. Insights show what those numbers mean. Business owners who receive timely insights catch problems earlier and make faster decisions.
The value is not volume. Ten generic insights create noise. Three specific, severity-rated insights create action.
