The instruments — free, forever

Try the answer before you buy the artifact.

Each instrument runs the same logic as its Excel model. Use them free with your real numbers — the row numbers are the templates' real indices.

Instrument 
13

Unit Economicsfree

Does your business model work? LTV, CAC, payback — three scenarios, pass/fail against investor benchmarks.

01

DCF Valuationfree

What is your company worth? Five-year FCF projection, terminal value, WACC bridge to a per-share number.

16

Cap Table & Dilutionfree

What will you own after the next round — and take home at exit? Rounds, pool top-ups, preference waterfall.

07

Startup 3-Statementfree

How long do you have? 24 months of P&L and cash flow — peak burn, runway, and the date the raise is due.

08

SaaS Metricsfree

Every metric a Series A deck needs, from one MRR waterfall: NRR, Rule of 40, CAC payback, LTV:CAC.

The stack — what you own

The instrument is free. The artifact is yours.

Buying a model gets you four files that work together — the browser instrument stays free either way.

The audited model

Opens clean in Excel and Google Sheets — no repair prompts, no #REF!. Yellow cells are inputs; everything else is a live formula.

companion-ai.md

The AI copilot

Paste it into Claude or ChatGPT with your raw numbers — bank balance, invoices, headcount — and get model-ready inputs back, derivation shown.

The quick-start

A five-minute path through the model, an assumptions glossary, and what to check when a number looks wrong.

The free calculator you already used — it runs the same logic, so the Excel never surprises you.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Why pay when the instruments are free?

The instruments answer the question; the models let you defend the answer. Buying gets you the audited Excel artifact investors will ask for, the AI workflow that fills it from your raw numbers, and the guide that explains every assumption.

Will the Excel work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Every model opens clean in both Excel and Google Sheets — no macros, no add-ins, no repair dialogs.

Do I need finance experience?

No. Inputs are yellow cells with plain-English labels, the guide has an assumptions glossary, and the AI prompt pack turns numbers you already have into the inputs the model needs.

Which one should I start with?

Pre-fundraise: Unit Economics — it tells you whether the machine works. Actively raising: the 3-Statement, or the stack if you'd otherwise buy two or more.

What exactly do I receive when I buy?

Per model: the Excel file, the quick-start guide (PDF), and the companion-AI prompt pack. Delivered instantly by Gumroad after checkout. The stack includes all five of each.

BooferClaus is a design studio too. The finance stack is what happens when a designer who ships gets tired of founders' spreadsheets.
