Your inputs stay with you. The assumptions stay visible.
A calculator should clarify the decision—not disguise an estimate as certainty. Capital Ready leaves pricing assumptions blank and shows what each result does and does not mean.
See the capital decision
Two views of the same operating reality.
Follow the cash sequence, then test the decision against timing, cost, and downside.
Sequence: when cash leaves and when the business expects it to return.Decision lens: the questions that should remain visible before applying.
What assumption would change the answer most?
01
Working-capital gap
Estimated gap = relevant near-term outflows − available cash allocated to the opportunity − expected inflows during the gap. Negative results display as zero because the tool estimates a shortfall, not excess cash.
02
Opportunity contribution
Expected incremental revenue × expected gross margin = incremental gross profit. Then subtract added operating expenses not already in margin and the financing-cost estimate entered by the visitor. Principal is not subtracted again.
