Compute New-Hire Equity Grant by Hire Number

A pure function that returns the equity-grant percentage for the Nth early hire by interpolating between configurable anchor grants (default 1.5% for hire #1, 0.25% for hire #20), per the YC early-hire equity rule of thumb.

You receive: A deterministic calculator (pure function) graded on hidden numeric input/output cases.

What's verified: STUD verifies the interpolation math reproduces the anchor-to-anchor decay curve on hidden cases. It does NOT decide what the anchors should be for this specific company (Altman notes 'the variance is huge'), whether the candidate deserves above/below the curve, or vesting terms. It is a schedule generator from the buyer's chosen anchors, not advice on the right grant.
