Prompt

Inputs:
[Provide: Offer components, vesting terms, share count assumptions, and available company disclosures.]
Required output:
A candidate-facing explanation, assumptions table, and open questions.

Quality check:
Never describe an uncertain equity value as guaranteed compensation.

Tips
Never describe an uncertain equity value as guaranteed compensation.
Check the response against your original evidence before using it in a decision. Revise the inputs if the result depends on an unsupported assumption.
