Alerts & Insights
16 deterministic rules watch your numbers. 10 alert types flag what changed. A weekly digest keeps you current.
The problem
Financial surprises are the enemy of good decision-making. A tool subscription auto-renews at a higher price. Payroll jumps because of a timing mismatch. Revenue drops because a contract didn't renew. Founders discover these things weeks later, usually when they're already a problem.
The solution
RunwayCal's insight engine runs 16 deterministic rules against your financial data and surfaces what matters. No AI opinions — just arithmetic flags. When your tool costs spike more than 25%, when payroll jumps more than 20%, when a commitment creeps more than 30% — you'll know. 10 alert types monitor month-over-month changes. A weekly email digest delivers your metrics, insights, and alerts every Monday.
16 Deterministic Insight Rules
Runway warnings (4 rules), burn analysis (4 rules), revenue signals (3 rules), efficiency checks (2 rules), funding timing (2 rules), and expense anomalies (3 rules: tool cost spikes, payroll jumps, commitment creep). Top 5 by severity shown on your dashboard. Every rule is pure arithmetic — no AI predictions.
10 Alert Types
Runway decrease, burn increase, cash milestone, revenue change, team change, tool cost change, commitment change, funding alert, treasury alert, and general financial alert. Each compares current month to previous month from snapshots. Dismissible, auto-reset monthly.
Expense Anomaly Detection
Three anomaly rules catch things that slip through the cracks: tool cost spikes (>25% vs your vendor cache baseline), payroll jumps (>20% vs previous snapshot), and commitment creep (>30% vs previous snapshot). These aren't AI predictions — they're threshold checks against your own historical data.
