What this tool is, and is not
A structured conversation prompt. It scores the answers you gave about alignment so the uncomfortable topics get named out loud, together.
It assumes
- Both founders answer honestly and separately.
- Alignment today predicts nothing on its own; the conversation does the work.
It cannot tell you
- Whether your split is legally or tax appropriate.
- Whether this partnership will work.
- Anything about your specific cap table or agreements.
These outputs are arithmetic on the numbers you entered. They are not benchmarks, research findings or a recommendation. Canonical Knowledge remains the authority for understanding; this is your action layer.
