    "description": "Sum of all bank account balances at the reporting cut-off, expressed in a single reporting currency after FX conversion. This is the gross top-of-house cash number — it does not net out restrictions, near-term liabilities, or commitments. The board reads this as the absolute denominator for runway and as a checksum against the cap table (capital raised − cumulative net burn ≈ cash). Common pitfall: founders sometimes report a USD figure that silently includes ILS/EUR accounts at stale FX rates — always reconcile against the bank-accounts list (per FX-aware MultiCurrencyAccountList) and tag the rate date.",

    "whyItMatters": "The denominator of runway and the single most important survival input — every other cash KPI is read in proportion to this number. Also the basic cap-table sanity check: capital raised minus cumulative net burn should reconcile to total cash within working-capital noise.",
    "interpretationGuidance": "Read in conjunction with `finance.total_restricted_cash` and `finance.net_burn_rate` to derive operationally available runway. A drop materially larger than net burn for the period signals an unreported outflow (deposit, settlement, FX) that deserves a board note. No published industry threshold exists for \"good\" — interpretation is always company- and stage-specific.",
