Exit Waterfall

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-14 🔷 SkillSpec L3 ⚙ ships an executable helper pm-calculators

Compute who gets what at each exit price from a cap table — liquidation preferences, conversion points, and where the founders' share collapses. Use when asked to model an exit waterfall, what do I get if we sell for X, explain liquidation preferences on my cap table, or compare payouts across exit prices. Produces a per-stakeholder payout table across exit values with conversion decisions shown, plus the plain-English reading of what the structure means for each party.

What to give it

Share classes — for each: name, share count, type (common / preferred / options); for preferred: amount invested, preference multiple, participating or not; for options: strike
Exit prices to test — or default to a spread around the last round's valuation (label it as a default)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Conversion decisions are computed, not asserted — the table shows who converts at each price
The zero-for-common threshold is stated explicitly as a price
Every simplification the model makes vs the real documents is named
Payouts at each price sum to the exit value (plus/minus rounding)
The disclaimer line appears in the artifact

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not present ownership percentages as payout percentages — the gap between them is this skill's entire reason to exist
Do not model participation caps or seniority stacking silently — the script doesn't; say so
Do not average across exit prices — the cliff structure IS the information
Do not run the numbers without the plain-English sentence — founders remember sentences, not tables
