Magic number & CAC payback calculator
Run the Scale-style SaaS magic number and a gross-margin CAC payback side by side. Cited bands from Scale, ChartMogul, and Bessemer. Labeled hypothetical. Not advice.
Option pool shuffle calculator
See who takes the dilution when a term sheet tops up the option pool pre-money versus post-money. The headline pool percentage stays the same; the person who pays for it changes.

Turn cash, burn, revenue growth, and a hire ladder into snapshot runway, months to cash-out, and a Paul Graham–style default alive or default dead read. Labeled hypothetical. Not advice.
