anchor ledger / offer B · free workflow
Work the Counter-Offer Numbers Before You Say Them — Free
Paste the offers you are weighing and the ledger scores each against the components you named, so the trade you are actually being asked to make is visible before you answer.
What this replaces
Negotiation advice tells you to anchor high. This takes the actual components on the table, scores them with the weights you set, and shows the spread, so you walk in knowing which offer is ahead and by how much rather than by feel.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One offer per line with a base figure, a bonus, and leave days.
Let the ledger score them
Each line gets a weighted score and the components behind it.
Look at the spread, not just the winner
A narrow spread means the non-cash terms should decide.
Confirm anything binding in writing
Equity, bonus terms, and start dates belong in the contract.
Try it on the anchor ledger / offer B
The board below runs in your browser. It opens with a worked sample so the result is visible before you paste anything; switch scenarios, edit the text, or reset to the sample.

first-load · sample values are illustrative, not verified facts
Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Equity or vesting not quantified
It cannot be scored without a number; note it separately.
Different currencies
Nothing is converted; keep every figure in one currency.
Leave given in weeks not days
The reader treats the number as days; convert first.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page arranges what you enter into talking points and a record. It does not give legal advice, does not negotiate for you, and guarantees no outcome or offer.
Confirm contract terms, pay data, and anything binding with HR in writing or a qualified adviser before you rely on it.
