Critique My Small Business Cash Flow Forecast
Your forecast assumes invoices get paid on time and nothing goes wrong for the full period, because that is what forecasts always assume. This is the check before a bank or investor sees it, or before you rely on it yourself. It hunts down the optimistic assumptions and finds your tightest month before it finds you.

**Critique** the forecast:
1. Identify optimistic assumptions (payment timing, sales ramp, one-off costs missing)
2. Check for seasonal blind spots
3. Flag the month with the tightest cash position and what would break it
4. Suggest one stress test scenario (a late payment, a slow month) and its impact
