How to calculate startup runway scenario
First-month revenue = monthly cost × growth rate; subsequent revenue compounds monthly
Legacy scenario retained: revenue is seeded from cost × growth, not an independently entered forecast. The simulation is capped at 120 months. A displayed 120-month runway means cash did not deplete before that cap.
