Planning Workbench
Liquidity and capital-call schedule
Trace an assumed cash reserve through annual spending, capital calls and inflows. Negative balances identify unmet funding needs.
Annual funding schedule
| Period | Spending | Calls | Inflows | Ending balance |

Keep dates beside amounts.
An annual schedule can hide a call due before an inflow arrives. Use a dated obligation ledger and review the confidence of each inflow before treating the result as an operational funding plan.
Challenge the funding path.
Try a lower inflow assumption, a larger spending requirement and a different horizon. A useful scenario should identify a decision and the person responsible for taking it.
