StartupCostCheck Glossary
What is Decision card?
A StartupCostCheck decision card is a shareable summary of your launch decision, runway, planned cuts, main red flags and one next step.
Why it matters
A long spreadsheet can hide the choice you are actually making. The SCC decision card puts the verdict, key limits and immediate action in one compact artifact. You can revisit it after a new quote or share it with someone helping you challenge the plan.
How to use it
- Review the stated decision before spending.
- Check that the runway matches your latest inputs.
- Use the cuts and red flags as a pre-purchase checklist.
- Complete the named next step before changing the plan.
StartupCostCheck produces the decision card at the end of the free check. Save or share it as a clear record of what the current numbers support.
