Burn is rising into a flat top line

ARR is €2.93m and barely moving. Net burn is €730k. Runway is 8.1 months. Net revenue retention has slipped under 100%.

Suggested action. Freeze the €1m reserve. Before the November board, require a burn path to €450k and a logo-churn breakdown by cohort.

critical

Retention broke

Mid-market logos are leaving after the second quarter. The agent’s meetings are not turning into pipeline the buyer will defend.

Suggested action. Sit in on three lost-customer calls. If the product is a sequencer with a model on top, stop describing it as a platform in the marks memo.

Monitoring note

Northwind was the agent bet: a narrow job, a buyer with budget, a team that could ship. The job is real and the retention says the product is not yet the system of work. We should not average this away inside a healthy fund TVPI.
