Description
Calculate net paid value and a recorded paying-customer flag.
Venture calculations depend on funding scope, fee bases, repayment terms, equity conventions and reporting periods. A post-money investor fraction differs from a pre-money valuation ratio, while constant-burn runway is conditional on a positive burn assumption. Interview consent and reported hypothesis support remain source-record assertions rather than verified evidence.
Calculate net paid value and a recorded paying-customer flag.
When to use this tool
Use Product Test Paying Customer Flag when you already have amountPaid, refundedAmount, paymentSettled and need to calculate net paid value and a recorded paying-customer flag.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter amountPaid, refundedAmount, paymentSettled. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read netPaid, countedAsPaying. Inspect countedAsPaying before interpreting the associated values.
Require amountPaid>=0 and refund in [0,amountPaid]; netPaid=paid-refund, countedAsPaying=paymentSettled && netPaid>0.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| amountPaid | Amount Paid | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| refundedAmount | Refunded Amount | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| paymentSettled | Payment Settled | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| netPaid | Net Paid | Required. Finite number. |
| countedAsPaying | Settled flag plus strictly positive supplied net paid; netPaid can be positive while this flag is false. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Positive net value may coexist with a false unsettled flag. No payment system, customer identity, demand or product-market fit is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the actual cash-flow forecast, financing agreement, cap table and experiment records for a venture decision. Use the full vesting and funding terms and inspect evidence quality; one balance, status label or supplied fraction does not establish feasibility, ownership or customer demand.
