Short answer

Your AI runs the proposed salary and equity numbers through a structural efficiency check. It flags if the founder has enough skin in the game or if the studio is taking on too much cash risk. You get a clear view of the trade-offs.

The outcomes of your analysis.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your inputs to produce these specific results.

MOTIVATION

Founder incentive check

The AI calculates if the equity stake is high enough to drive long-term commitment. It flags deals where the salary is too high relative to the upside.

RISK

Studio protection report

This identifies if the studio is taking on too much cash risk. It highlights structures that leave the studio vulnerable if the founder exits early.

OPTIMAL

The balanced model

The AI suggests a middle ground where both parties share risk. It provides a specific ratio of equity to salary based on your constraints.

HUMAN

Negotiation guidance

The AI highlights the specific numbers you should use as leverage. You decide how to present these findings during the actual deal talk.

The AI handles the math and the logic so you can focus on the relationship.
