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.
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.
03
Privacy and limitations
No input is transmitted or saved. Results are illustrations, not offers, underwriting, eligible amounts, approval predictions, accounting advice, or guaranteed returns.
