Does it need the Shopify connection?

No. Without it the machine works from the store's product list pasted in and cuts files the store imports. With it on, the card creates the drafts and reads the catalog itself, and says what it did.

Will it publish for me?

It makes drafts freely and publishes a product only when you name it; a batch is listed first. That is the law on the face.

Where do prices come from?

From you, on the ladder or off it. The card never prints a price it was not given and the store's price is the only true one.

Can it attach the files?

No — that door is the app's and yours. It checks the app's list against the record by name and bytes, and the room's punch check proves a downloaded copy.

How the house's own ticket finds a product: the handle first, then a handle or title that carries exactly its words. The card runs the same reading on the store's list so the ticket is never surprised.

No. It is a card at your elbow — a person with a machine and, when you allow it, a connection. It stores nothing, runs no server and holds no key of its own.

What it is.

Holders with shares, an option pool, SAFEs with caps and discounts; a round with a pre-money and an investment. Each SAFE converts at the better of its cap price and its discount price, the round is issued, and the post-money table is printed to the share, with one sensitivity line.

It computes; it never advises.

Its laws, written into the card.

Exact arithmetic with decimals; the share is the unit.
A SAFE converts at the better of cap and discount, as written.
It computes; it never advises.
