Head-Hand-Heart talent remuneration package
An early-stage founder receives a structured offer that pairs ESOPs and tax-aware cash with explicit psychological motivators, so they can compete for talent they cannot out-pay on salary alone.
You receive: A JSON object with three lens blocks, head (ESOP grant: equity_pct, target_valuation, computed esop_value), hand (annual_cash plus tax_optimization components), and heart (an array of motivators each tagged to a category enum), plus a required-completeness summary.

Scope of the check
What's verified: STUD verifies all three lenses are present, the ESOP value arithmetic is correct, and the Heart lens uses valid motivator categories covering the required set. It does NOT verify the offer is competitive, that the valuation is realistic, that the tax components are legally valid, or that the candidate will accept.
