MoneyBuffer UK is open-source work, not a commercial SSS Techs product. The public repository shows explainable analytics, scenario stress testing and responsible financial-tool boundaries.
Problem
Cash-flow uncertainty is hard to reason about from static budgets.
MoneyBuffer UK is designed to demonstrate how simple planning analytics can help users understand resilience, runway, and scenario trade-offs.
Many people and small businesses understand monthly spending only after cash pressure has already appeared.
Income volatility, delayed payments, tax timing, and seasonal expenses can make simple budgets misleading.
Planning tools should make trade-offs visible without crossing into regulated advice.
What MoneyBuffer helps users understand
A simple view of buffer, runway, and planning pressure.
The demonstrator turns basic cash-flow assumptions into planning views that are easier to compare than a one-line monthly budget.
Buffer resilience
Estimate whether a cash buffer is likely to cover expected expenses, shocks, or quiet trading periods.
Scenario exposure
Compare changes such as lower income, higher costs, delayed payments, or a larger savings target.
Core features

MoneyBuffer UK is a prototype/concept demonstrator. It is designed to show planning workflows, not to provide financial advice.
