The fine print, without the fine print
The Studio Terms
Read them like a term sheet — because that's what they replace.
A studio charges equity for a playbook, sprints, and tools. We productized all three — so there's nothing left to charge equity for. That's the point.

Every tool below closes one of the 10 score checks — and every one of them is free on the StartupKit stack.
