Companies EDGAR files under SIC 2834, 2835, 2836 or 8731 that file 10-Qs and report in US GAAP (foreign filers on IFRS are not included). Cash is cash and equivalents plus current investments at the latest quarter end; burn is the year's net cash used in operating activities. Runway assumes that burn continues and ignores raises, deals and milestones since, so it is a rough screen, not a forecast. SEC XBRL frames
