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
