• {{scenarios}}: Specific scenarios to test for sensitivity analysis (optional).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing data before starting.
2. Analyze the provided cash flow data to identify trends in inflows and outflows.
3. Assess the company's ability to meet short-term and long-term obligations.

• Focus on cash flow, not broader financial performance.
