## Description

Your business planner. Compiles everything the other founder skills wrote (the board's verdict, the competitors, the buyer panel, pricing, the offer, the CFO's numbers, marketing, brand, operations and the launch plan) into one business plan with a verdict at the top that is computed from the numbers, never written by hand: Profitable, Not yet (with the failing numbers) or Incomplete. Adds an executive summary and a one-page version for a partner, lender or investor. Use when the user says "write my business plan", "put it all together", "is it profitable", "give me the plan", or at the end of the founder pack.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# founder-plan

The last step. One document a founder can act on, or hand to a partner or a
lender, built only from what the pack found.

Tool in this folder:

```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/compile.py" --dir founder
```

## Step 1: see what is there

```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/compile.py" --dir founder --check
```

prints the verdict and each check. The checks, all computed:

1. Each unit earns money before fixed costs (`founder/numbers.json`).
2. Year 1 makes an operating profit.
3. The break-even fits inside capacity, if a capacity was given.
4. Enough simulated buyers buy (`founder/panel/results.json`; default bar 25%,
   change it with `--min-buy-rate` and say why).

If there are no numbers, the verdict is Incomplete: offer to run `/founder-cfo`.
List the other missing sections with the skill that fills each. Do not fill a
missing section yourself from guesses.

## Step 2: the summary

Write `founder/summary.md`, half a page, plain words:

- What the business is and who it is for, in two sentences.
- The verdict and the three numbers behind it (margin, break-even, year 1).
- What the buyer panel and the board agreed on, and where they disagreed.
- The biggest risk and what will be done about it.
- What the founder needs to start (cash from the CFO, the first test from launch).
- The one thing to do this week.

If the verdict is Not yet, the summary leads with what has to change and which skill
changes it. Never soften a failing check.

## Step 3: compile

```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/compile.py" --dir founder
```

writes `founder/business-plan.md`: title, the verdict and its checks, the key numbers
table, the idea, then every section the pack produced (summary, board, competition,
panel, pricing, offer, numbers, marketing, brand, operations, launch), and what is
not done yet.

## Step 4: the one-pager
