Clauses
| Clause Key | Favorability | Weight | Evidence Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| liquidation_preference | company_favorable | 5 | 1x non-participating preference: on a sale, holders take the greater of 1x the $1,000,000 purchase price or their as-converted share, never both. |
| dividend | middle_of_road | 2 | 6% non-cumulative dividend, payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board; no accrual if not declared. |
| antidilution | middle_of_road | 4 | Broad-based weighted-average adjustment to the conversion price on a down round, with customary carve-outs for the option pool. |
| option_pool | investor_favorable | 4 | A 12% post-money option pool shall be created prior to closing, included in the pre-money capitalization. |
| board_composition | company_favorable | 4 | Board of three: two designated by the Common (initially Dan Schmitz) and one designated by the lead investor. |
| protective_provisions | middle_of_road | 3 | Majority-of-Preferred consent required to amend the charter, authorize senior stock, sell the company, or incur debt above $250,000. |
| redemption | company_favorable | 3 | No redemption rights: the Preferred is not redeemable at the option of the holders at any time. |
| conversion | middle_of_road | 2 | Each share of Preferred converts to Common at the holder's option at an initial 1:1 ratio, subject to adjustment. |

Scope of the check
What's verified: STUD verifies that every required clause is classified onto the three-tier scale with a quoted snippet, that the enums are valid, and that the founder-friendliness index is arithmetically consistent with the per-clause weights. STUD does NOT judge whether the classification is legally correct, whether the term sheet is actually fair, or whether you should sign it.
