Build a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast from bank exports, AR aging, AP bills, payroll, and recurring commitments -- the report that tells a small business whether it survives the quarter. Flags the crunch weeks early enough to act.

# Cash Flow Forecaster

Profitable businesses die of cash starvation; the 13-week forecast is the instrument that prevents it. Input: bank/transaction exports (.csv/.xlsx), open invoices (AR), upcoming bills (AP), payroll schedule, and known recurring items. Output: a week-by-week cash position with the crunch points circled.

## Workflow

1. **Establish the baseline.** Current cash across accounts (from the most recent export -- state the as-of date prominently). Reconstruct 8-12 weeks of history to learn the rhythm: payroll cadence, rent day, typical weekly card/vendor spend, revenue deposit patterns.
2. **Schedule the knowns.** Inflows: open AR placed in the week each invoice is *likely* paid -- due date plus that customer's historical lateness, not the due date printed on the invoice. Outflows: payroll (with tax deposit timing), rent, loan payments, insurance, subscriptions, credit card due dates, quarterly estimated taxes -- the ambush everyone forgets.
3. **Model the unknowns.** Recurring-but-variable spend from historical averages, labeled `ESTIMATE`. New revenue only if the user provides expected deals -- never invent pipeline.
4. **Build the forecast.** `cash-flow-13wk.csv` + summary: weekly beginning cash, inflows, outflows, ending cash. Flag every week ending below the user's minimum comfort level (ask; default one payroll cycle) as `CRUNCH`, and the first crunch week is the headline.
5. **Scenario the levers.** For each crunch: what closes the gap -- which specific AR to chase this week (pairs with `cowork-invoice-chaser`), which AP can slide two weeks without damage, where the line of credit covers, what the owner draw pause buys. Concrete moves with amounts, not advice-shaped sentences.
