Read the explanation

In enterprise AI ventures, upfront capitalization balances against aggressive infrastructure costs and recurring customer contracts. Every month, gross burn depletes capital through compute clusters and staffing, while each signed enterprise deal injects offsetting recurring inflow. Adjusting the deal cadence slider accelerates new client acquisition, bending the cash depletion slope upward and preserving capital beyond month thirty-six.
