Guardrail
Financial Risk Infrastructure

Install Financial Guardrails™ on Your Business.

Guardrail warns you before pricing mistakes, bad hires, or cash decisions quietly put your business at risk.

Recognition

These questions should be easy to answer.

If they're not, you're operating with more risk than you realize.

Do you know how long your cash actually lasts?

Not the rough estimate. The real number.

Have you ever grown revenue but felt more stressed?

Growth without margin is just expensive work.

Would you catch a dangerous hire before it happens?

One wrong headcount decision can burn 6+ months of runway.

Do you price based on data or instinct?

Most founders leave 20-40% on the table without realizing it.

Most financial mistakes don't explode. They compound quietly.

The Problem

Founders fail from decisions that seemed fine at the time.

Not from laziness. Not from bad ideas. From financial mistakes that compound quietly until recovery becomes impossible.

Underpricing

Setting prices too low erodes margins invisibly over time

Hiring Too Early

Adding headcount before revenue supports it drains runway fast

Growing Unprofitably

Chasing growth without unit economics leads to collapse

Cash Blindspots

Running out of cash when the numbers looked fine
