What Cap Table Builder does, with a checked example
Cap Table Builder organizes holders, share classes, issued shares, option pools, and convertible notes into an ownership table and percentage pie chart. It helps expose how adding reserved or converted equity changes each holder's stake. The main source of confusion is the denominator: issued-share ownership and fully diluted ownership can produce different percentages from the same underlying records. Convertible notes also lack a fixed ownership percentage until conversion assumptions establish their resulting shares. Because capitalization data is sensitive, entries remain in the browser and are not uploaded.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Ari | Common | 600
Bea | Common | 400
->
Expected output
Total issued shares: 1,000. Ari owns 600 shares, or 60%. Bea owns 400 shares, or 40%. The ownership pie chart contains a 60% slice for Ari and a 40% slice for Bea.
The two holdings total 1,000 shares. Dividing 600 and 400 by 1,000 gives 60% and 40%, which reconcile to 100%.
