The rules changed overnight. Your response shouldn't take months.

Whether it's AI, restructuring, or a budget cut, a layoff hits like a wall. Most people freeze. The bills don't. Existing financial tools weren't built for crisis speed. Outplacement services help you find a job. We help you survive until you do.

How it works

Three days. Three phases. Full control.

01
Hours 0-8

Assess

Map every bill, deadline, and obligation. Identify what's urgent vs. what can wait. Calculate your true runway with existing cash, severance, and benefits.

02
Hours 8-36

Stabilize

File for unemployment (guided, state-specific steps). Call creditors with tested scripts. Negotiate deferrals. Lock in healthcare continuation. Freeze what you can.

03
Hours 36-72

Control

Finalize your survival budget. Set up cash monitoring. Review severance terms. Establish your weekly check-in cadence. You now have a plan, not a panic.

What you get

Everything for the worst week of your financial life.

Bill Prioritization Engine

Not all bills are equal. We rank every obligation by consequence of non-payment, grace periods, and negotiability so you know exactly what to pay first.

Creditor Call Scripts

Pre-written, tested scripts for mortgage companies, credit cards, utilities, landlords, and student loans. The exact words that get deferrals and hardship plans.

Benefits Filing Walkthrough

State-specific, step-by-step guidance for unemployment insurance, COBRA/ACA options, and any severance-related benefits. Not a link dump. An actual walkthrough.

Severance Review Checklist

Know what to negotiate, what to sign, and what to push back on. Common severance traps flagged. Timeline for legal review noted.

Panic is not a plan.
This is.

Runway72 exists because nobody should lose their home over a missed phone call they didn't know to make.
