The Mentat Ledger Approach
Clarity Confidence Decisions

One Decision, Every Week

Stop guessing.
Start seeing.

The dashboard reads your numbers and returns one of three signals. No tab archaeology. No manual calculation.

Safe

Cash stays above the caution target.

No cash protection needed. Keep running, keep checking.

Caution

Comfort buffer is thinning.

Cash is above the minimum but below the caution target. Collect earlier, delay flexible spend, protect the buffer before the watch week.

Action

Cash drops below minimum safe cash.

Immediate levers needed. Collect earlier, cut flexible spend, reduce cash out, or add cash. The watch week and protect amount tell you exactly how much and when.

Launch Pack

Spreadsheet inside.

How It Works

Buy once.
Always know where you stand.

01

Add your cash events

Open the Inputs sheet. Enter what comes in and what goes out: retainers, rent, payroll, one-off payments. Set your minimum safe cash. First setup takes about ten minutes.

02

Read the Dashboard

Switch to the Dashboard. See your signal, watch week, and cash protection amount across Stress, Plan and Upside simultaneously. No digging through tabs.

03

Act before the watch week

If the signal says CAUTION or ACTION, you know exactly which weeks are tight and how much to protect. Collect earlier. Delay flexible spend. Reduce cash out. You have weeks to act not days.

Questions

The dashboard answers
the important ones.

Current week plus 12 weeks forward. Long enough to act on what you see. Short enough to stay accurate. Beyond 90 days your assumptions erode faster than the insight is worth.

Excel only. Best in Excel 365 desktop. The file is not built for Google Sheets or Apple Numbers. Formulas and layout will not behave the same way.

Once a week. Five minutes if your cash events are clean. Open the Inputs sheet, move any delayed cash events to the correct week, update actuals, and check the dashboard signal. That is the full weekly routine.

Yes. The input structure is yours to adapt. Formulas are protected by default to prevent accidental damage. Single-business licence covers one organisation.

No. Cashflow Engine is decision support based on assumptions you control. Results depend on the accuracy of the data you enter. For tax, compliance or accounting questions, consult a qualified professional.
