Methodology
This page is a placeholder. It will document exactly how the dashboard numbers are computed: what counts as Life Support vs. product revenue, how the ledgers are sourced, and the update cadence for data/*.json.
The money meter
The number at the top of the dashboard is real money, not a budget. Costs come from data/money.json — every line is published in full on the dashboard. One-off costs count whole from the day they were paid; monthly costs accrue continuously, which is why the number moves. Income is net revenue pulled live from the payment provider, so “net money” is simply income minus costs to this second.
Build phase. Until the experiment has real customers, there is no cap and no pool — just real costs against real income.
The kill rule arms at 5 paying customers. From the day it arms, the experiment runs on a wallet: $500 to start, plus $200 added on the 1st of each month. Unspent money rolls over — a cheap month funds an expensive one. Income lands in the same wallet; costs come out of it.
The wallet at $0 is death. No extension, no top-up outside the monthly $200. That is the whole rule.
Kill policy & duty of care
The full policy — what a show-kill vs. business-kill means, the scoreboard freeze rule, and the customer duty-of-care ladder — is drafted in the project's internal reference docs and will be published here in full before launch.
