Build a fully functional micro web app that simulates the lifecycle of a startup in real time.

This is not a static dashboard.
It is an interactive financial and growth simulator that responds to user input instantly.

The app must feel like a real SaaS analytics platform.

βΈ»

Core Concept

The user enters:
β€’ Monthly Revenue
β€’ Monthly Expenses
β€’ Team Size
β€’ Customer Growth Rate (%)
β€’ Churn Rate (%)
β€’ Starting Cash Balance

The dashboard then calculates and visualizes:
β€’ Monthly revenue growth curve
β€’ Burn rate
β€’ Runway (months remaining)
β€’ Customer growth projection
β€’ Break-even timeline
β€’ Profitability status indicator

All calculations must update instantly when sliders or inputs change.

βΈ»

UI Requirements

Dark mode only.
Premium SaaS aesthetic.
Clean grid layout.

Include:
β€’ Large KPI cards at the top:
β€’ Current MRR
β€’ Burn Rate
β€’ Runway (months)
β€’ Net Profit/Loss
β€’ Interactive line chart for revenue projection
β€’ Visual runway countdown bar
β€’ Subtle animations when values change
β€’ β€œStartup Health” indicator (color-based: green, yellow, red)

The app must feel calm and analytical, not gamified.

βΈ»

Unique Twist

Add a β€œFounder Mood Indicator” that changes based on runway:
β€’ 18 months = Calm
β€’ 12–18 months = Focused
β€’ 6–12 months = Concerned
β€’ <6 months = Panic Mode

Display it subtly in the UI.

βΈ»

Technical Requirements
β€’ Single HTML file
β€’ Embedded CSS and JavaScript
β€’ No external libraries
β€’ Custom lightweight chart using Canvas
β€’ Local state only (no backend)
β€’ Responsive layout

All formulas must be realistic and explained in comments.

βΈ»

Output Requirements

Return:
1. Complete runnable code
2. Clear comments explaining financial logic
3. Small section explaining how runway is calculated

No placeholders.
No pseudo-code.
