Instructions

1. If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Develop a structured financial model that includes revenue projections, expense forecasts, and cash flow management.
3. Incorporate historical data and market trends to ground your assumptions; clearly state any assumptions you make.
4. Provide cost-saving recommendations based on the expense forecast.
5. Present the plan in a clear, executive-friendly format with key metrics and actionable next steps.

Guardrails
