## Description

This MCP server provides a negotiation modeling engine to simulate founder vesting structures. It calculates recommended terms, flexibility ranges, and the balance between investor protection and founder incentives. Use `get_recommended_terms` to find balanced structures, `get_flexibility_range` to identify negotiation zones, `evaluate_protection_balance` to check term alignment, and `simulate_commitment_impact` to see how seniority affects vesting.

## Tools

### evaluate_protection_balance
Analyzes whether the proposed terms favor the investor too heavily or the founder too heavily

### get_flexibility_range
Determines the "negotiation zone" for a founder to understand how much they can push back on investor demands

### get_recommended_terms
Provides the most balanced vesting structure based on the provided negotiation parameters

### simulate_commitment_impact
Models how changes in founder experience or commitment levels affect the suggested vesting structure
