Burn-rate danger level
A pure function that converts monthly burn and cash on hand into months of runway and a danger classification using runway-month thresholds, per Altman's rule that burn is only scary when runway is short.
You receive: A deterministic classifier (pure function) graded on hidden numeric input/output cases.

Scope of the check
What's verified: STUD verifies the runway division and threshold banding on hidden cases. It does NOT verify the burn figure is accurate, that revenue won't change, or whether the underlying unit economics 'get better as you scale' (Altman's separate concern). The tier reflects only runway length from the supplied cash and burn, not the quality of the business model.
