How to Separate MRR From Cash With ChatGPT

Preparation-only workflow using reviewed files and explicit outputs. Uploading Markdown is reference context, not a native skill installation or permission to act.

Keep recurring-revenue metrics, invoicing and cash collections separate in a founder report.

1. Read the workflow and source

Open the complete free skill and authored Markdown download, its inputs and review gates. Read ChatGPT project documentation for current file, plan and privacy limits. Account access is not tested here.

2. Start with approved reference files

Create a separate conversation or project for this one job. Upload the public Markdown as reference if your account supports files. This is not a plugin installation. Do not mix clients or place credentials and private records into a reusable setup instruction.

3. Run the fictional acceptance test

Fictional annual recurring 1200 normalizes to MRR 100 under owner policy. Invoice 1200 and cash 0 remain 1200/0, not cash 100. No receipt is inferred.

4. Use a narrow request

Use the attached MRR Versus Collected Cash Crosswalk as reference and only the supplied fictional inputs. Return the complete output contract, source IDs, preserved values, each formula and unresolved facts. Do not retrieve real records, sign in, send, share, post, modify accounts, spend or make decisions for an owner.

5. Review before real data

Check each source row, unchanged original value, missing fact and arithmetic. A successful fictional result is a readiness check, not proof of real-account compatibility. Only then use authorized minimum-necessary real exports, confirm retention/access and ask the responsible owner to review the result.

Where this guide stops

No sending, sharing, ledger/CRM changes, account sign-in or spending is authorized by this guide. A separate request and the required approval govern real actions. Keep an evidence copy of the input version and reviewed output.
