How to Get a Personalized Layoff Risk Report for Free
The Deep Report — a full risk analysis built from your numbers, not averages: your true runway with debt included, a twelve-month cash projection, seven stress scenarios, severance math, and a 90-day decision plan. The price is not money. It is 10 points, and you earn them by sharing the calculator with people who need it. Here is exactly how it works.
Run the free calculator and you get your headline number: how many days your savings survive if your income stops today. That number answers one question. The Deep Report answers the harder ones — what happens to that number when you also carry debt, when your income drops instead of disappearing, when the emergency hits before the new job starts, and when quitting without a job lined up is actually feasible.
What is inside the Deep Report
| Section | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| True runway | Survival days with debt repayments included — the number most calculators quietly skip. |
| 12-month projection | Month-by-month cash balance, so you see the cliff before you are standing on it. |
| Seven stress scenarios | Job loss, a 20% pay cut, a major emergency bill, quitting, a new family member, inflation, and a planned sabbatical. |
| Severance & COBRA math | What a package really covers after tax and health premiums — usually far less than it looks. |
| Job search window | How long you can search, adjusted for your age bracket and career stage. |
| Quit-job feasibility | The minimum monthly income a transition requires, and whether your numbers clear the bar. |
Share-to-unlock: the 60-second version
- Run the calculator. Get your headline runway number. The unlock screen appears with the deep report.
- Share your personal link on X or LinkedIn — one tap from the unlock screen, your link is pre-filled.
- Paste the link to your published post back on the screen. We verify it is live and links back — that is +1 point.
- Hit 10 points, enter your email, and a permanent unlock code arrives. The full report opens immediately.
The rules, in plain terms
- A verified post earns +1 point. The post must be live and contain your personal link. Up to 2 posts per platform per day.
- A friend who runs their numbers earns you +3. Each unique person counts once — no re-clicking the same link.
- Points live on your email, not your device. Switch phones, clear your browser — enter your email and the balance follows.
- The unlock code is permanent. No subscription, no expiry, no card required.
Points are checked against the live post — we open the link and confirm it points back to the site. This is why opening the share window alone earns nothing, and why pasting a link to a post that does not exist earns nothing. If a platform blocks the automatic check, your point is simply held and releases the moment a real person clicks through your link. The system pays for genuine shares, because genuine shares are what keep the tool free.
How fast can you realistically hit 10 points?
| Action | Points | Typical path to 10 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 verified post | +1 | One post on each platform on day one (2 points), one more of each the next day (4), plus two friends running their numbers (6) — ten points in about two days for most people. |
| 1 friend runs their numbers via your link | +3 | |
| Cap per platform | 2/day |
Most people who genuinely want the report get there in one or two days of normal sharing — a post saying what your runway number is tends to start conversations, which tends to produce referrals on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Deep Report really free, or is this a trial?
Really free. Ten points equal a permanent unlock code tied to your email. There is no card on file, no subscription, and no expiry.
What counts as a "verified" post?
A published post — not a draft, not the compose window — whose link opens to a live post containing your personal riskrunway.app link. We check the link automatically when you paste it.
I shared but the platform blocked the check. Did I lose the point?
No. The point is held as pending and releases automatically the first time a real visitor arrives through your link — proof the post is live and working.
Can I combine points from X and LinkedIn?
Yes — points go to one account. Post on both platforms; each verified post adds +1, up to 2 per platform per day.
What if I already earned a code and lost it?
Enter the same email on the unlock screen — points and codes recover automatically. Codes are permanent.
