## Integration

### With Metrics System

Financial data integrates with the main metrics system:

```bash
# Agent task integration (in scripts/)
python3 agent_task_integration.py
```

This analyzes financial metrics and auto-generates agent tasks when:
- Cash position drops below $50K
- Revenue targets are missed
- Monetization infrastructure needs deployment

### With GitHub

Revenue data can trigger GitHub workflows:

```yaml
# Example: Alert when revenue milestone hit
on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      milestone:
        description: 'Revenue milestone reached'
        required: true
```

---

## Deployment

### Deploy Financial Dashboard

```bash
# To Cloudflare Pages
wrangler pages deploy financial --project-name=blackroad-financial-dashboard

# To GitHub Pages
# Copy dashboard.html to docs/financial/ and enable GitHub Pages
```

### Deploy Investor Deck

```bash
# Generate PDF
# 1. Open pitch_deck.html in Chrome
# 2. Print → Save as PDF
# 3. Distribute to investors

# Or deploy to secure URL
wrangler pages deploy financial --project-name=blackroad-investor-deck
```

---

## Automation

### Auto-Update Schedule

Add to `.github/workflows/update-metrics.yml`:

```yaml
- name: Update Financial Data
  run: |
    cd financial
    python3 revenue_tracker.py

```
