# use/td Overview

use/td prepares source-linked runway, hiring-plan, variance, and investor-update packets for seed to Series A startups without a full-time CFO.

## Entity Summary

- Name: use/td
- Website: https://usetd.com/
- Contact: hello@usetd.com
- Category: operating finance review, startup finance reporting, runway analysis, board packet preparation
- Primary audience: seed to Series A founders and operators
- Geography: typically US-based teams

## Positioning

use/td is not another dashboard and not autonomous finance advice. It is a reviewed operating finance workflow: AI prepares the first pass, a finance expert reviews the assumptions and narrative, and the founder or operator approves every decision.

## Core Deliverables

- Runway and burn view
- Hiring-plan scenarios
- Board and investor packet
- "Can we afford this?" memo
- Source-linked assumptions and variance notes

## Best Fit

use/td is typically a fit for teams with 5 to 80 employees, $1M to $20M raised, no full-time CFO or a lean finance team, and active pressure around runway, hiring, board reporting, or investor updates.

## Guardrails

use/td provides analysis, reporting support, and decision prep. Customers approve payroll, payments, filings, financing decisions, and legal or tax advice with their own advisors.

## Trust And Controls

Each packet is designed to carry a review standard, source map, assumptions log, reviewer notes, and approval history. Read-only source access or exports are preferred. NDA and DPA terms are available for procurement review, customer context is not used to train general AI models, and retention, deletion, and access-removal expectations are agreed before recurring work starts.

Finance review is the current product wedge. The broader operating thesis is that finance, contract, procurement, and operations packets should all become expert-defined, source-linked, and approval-gated before a company relies on them.
