get_cash_position
Get AI Cash Position
What it does
Get the Signal8 cash position model for a company, derived from the dilution snapshot pipeline: anchor cash and anchor date, monthly burn, post-anchor capital raises (with SEC filing citations), known outflows, estimated current cash and runway months. Use when analyzing a company's current cash situation, runway, or capital raise activity.
ALWAYS RETURNS 200 — read available and reason, never the HTTP status: coverage is partial, so available: false with reason snapshot_not_generated means THIS COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN ANALYSED YET, which is different from it having no cash data and different from an outage (an outage is a 5xx). Never report a company as having no cash or no runway on the strength of an unavailable response.
The scenarios envelope is preserved for compatibility but only scenarios.closed is populated: pending and announced are null with reason scenario_not_modelled because the extraction records only REALIZED cash-raising events and never models speculative raises. Do not infer them from shelf or ATM capacity.
CURRENCY: amounts are in the filer's REPORTING currency, which is not always USD (Canadian, European, Japanese and Chinese filers report in their own currency). Read top-level currency (ISO 4217; null = not determined) and currencySource ("presumed_usd" means no foreign-currency marker was found, not a measurement).
Every money object is {usd, native: {amount, currency}}: usd (and scenarios.closed.estimatedCashUsd / adjustedEstimatedCashUsd / netCapitalRaisesUsd) is null when the block is not in USD; nothing is converted. Never present native.amount as dollars. monthsOfCashLeft is currency-neutral and stays populated. Included in Signal8 Pro (403 FEATURE_NOT_AVAILABLE, requiredTier "pro", without it).
That is a tier upgrade, not an add-on purchase — the add-on is no longer sold.
