scenarios, and an after-tax take-home (earn-out) estimate reflecting vesting cliff, 409A strike cost, and blended federal+state taxes — ending with the questions an employee should ask the employer. Each computation stage is its own DAG step with explicit value edges (the derived metrics flow from core_metrics into the waterfall, IPO, and take-home stages), so every intermediate number is inspectable per step. The invoking agent elicits the financial inputs from public web coverage before calling, and passes provenance via the sources parameter.
