Cap table with option pool (pre and post-money)

The founder has a fully-reconciled pre- and post-money cap table, with the option pool shuffle baked in, ready to attach to a term sheet.

You receive: A JSON object { preMoneyValuation, investmentAmount, postMoneyValuation, optionPoolPctPost, holders[], totals{preMoneyPct, postMoneyPct} } where holders[] is an array of { holderId, name, class (enum: common|preferred|option_pool), preMoneyShares, preMoneyPct, postMoneyShares, postMoneyPct }

Scope of the check

What's verified: STUD verifies the cap table reconciles (pre and post percentages each sum to 100), post-money = pre-money + investment, the option pool hits the target post-money percentage, and the new investor's stake equals investment/post-money. STUD does NOT opine on whether the valuation or pool size is fair or market.
