  View prompt

  Using the Jakeschincariol/founder-skill repo, build founder/numbers.json for <business name> from the prices and costs I give you, then run `python3 skills/founder-cfo/unit_economics.py founder/numbers.json --out founder/cfo.md`. Output the contribution per sale, break-even per day and year 1 totals from cfo.md. Verify that every number traces to an input and that missing fields produce an error rather than a guessed value.

  • Sales and marketing
  • Intermediate
  View prompt

  Using the Jakeschincariol/founder-skill repo, run `python3 skills/founder-plan/compile.py --dir founder` and report the verdict (Profitable, Not yet or Incomplete) and the reason for it from founder/business-plan.md. Verify that the verdict comes from the computed checks on unit economics, year 1 profit, break-even against capacity and the share of the panel that buys, and not from prose.
