Describe your dashboard. Fi builds it.
Fi is the AI agent inside Definite. Tell it what you’re trying to understand, and it connects your sources, defines the metrics, and builds the dashboard. One conversation, not a project.
Here’s what’s in it
The top row leads with the 4 numbers that matter most: Runway (months), Monthly burn, Cash balance, Gross margin. Each shows a delta versus the prior period so you can see direction at a glance. Below that, 2 trend charts (Cash balance over time, Burn rate over time) show how the headline numbers have moved over time. A breakdown (Monthly burn trend) splits the metric by dimension so you can see what's driving the total. A detail table (Runway drivers) rounds it out with the secondary metrics and their deltas. Every number is computed from the exact formulas shown in the metric table below. Composites are derived from their components, not pasted in, so the KPI tiles, breakdowns, and totals all reconcile to each other.

Runway drivers
- Why did burn spike last month?
- What is runway if revenue grows at the trailing three-month rate?
- Show me the line items behind the burn increase in March.
- How many months do we gain if we cut burn by 20%?
- Break burn out by department if the data is there.
- Trace this month's cash balance back to the bank transactions.
- Show me burn excluding one-time annual prepayments so the run rate is clean.
- Add a scenario where burn drops 15% and show what that does to runway.
- Compare this quarter's runway to last quarter at the same cash balance.
Every metric traces back to your systems
This is the part a BI tool can’t fake. Each metric is defined once, in your warehouse, from a specific object in a specific source. Change the definition in one place and every tile, report, and answer moves with it. So the number on the screen is the number in the source.
| Metric | What it measures | How it's calculated | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runway (months) | The number that sets the deadline on every plan: how many months of cash you have left at the current burn rate. | Cash Balance ÷ Monthly Burn | Quickbooks, Stripe, Plaid |
| Gross Margin | The share of net revenue left after the direct cost of delivering the product, the ceiling on how efficiently the business can grow. | (Net Revenue − COGS) ÷ Net Revenue | Stripe, Quickbooks |
| Net Revenue | Revenue you actually keep after refunds and credits, not what you originally billed. | Gross Revenue − Refunds & Credits | Stripe, Quickbooks |
Have our agent watch for you
A runway dashboard tells you what happened, and Fi tells you why. The last step is not having to remember to check. Point Definite at the one number you can’t afford to miss, and it watches that number for you off the same definitions as your dashboard. When it moves, you hear about it before the next review instead of during it. One metric, one action, always reversible.
Built from whatever you already run on
Connect the systems you already use. Any source of these types works, and you don’t move data into a warehouse, because Definite is the warehouse.
