Portfolio Burn Analysis 4
Burn multiple alone is only half the picture. Plot it against growth rate and you can see in one chart which portfolio companies are growing efficiently and which are burning faster than they're growing.

Prepare a single spreadsheet — one row per company per quarter. This is the input file the AI needs to run the analysis. Add the following metrics for each company:
ARR or Revenue
Ending value for each quarter
Total OpEx & Revenue
To derive net burn if no direct figure
Cash in Bank
End-of-quarter balance
Include columns for company name, quarter, FY convention, currency. Note any fundraise amounts. Cover 4 quarters for QoQ, or include prior-year quarters for YoY. If a quarter is missing, leave the row blank.
