What is the minimum strike price if my current FMV is $15.50?

Based on a current FMV of $15.50, the `calculate_minimum_strike` tool indicates that your minimum legal strike price is $15.50.

Calculate the penalty for a grant with a $12.00 strike price when FMV is $15.00.

Using `estimate_tax_penalty`, the taxable spread is $3.00, which triggers a 20% penalty plus applicable interest.

Check if a grant with a $14.00 strike price is compliant for an ISO at $15.00 FMV.

The `analyze_grant_compliance` tool identifies this grant as 'Non-Compliant' because the strike price is below the current FMV of $15.00.

Use the `calculate_minimum_strike` tool by providing the current Fair Market Value (FMV) and the valuation date.

He dropped two masses from the Tower of Pisa. This tool forces authority questioning, experimental design, variable control, outcome prediction, and belief revision.

Migration Strategy Prover MCP

1 tools Official

An AI recommended a big-bang database migration over the weekend. No dependency map — 7 services read from that database. No rollback plan — 'just restore from backup.' No data validation — 2.3 million records with timezone-dependent timestamps. The migration ran Saturday at 2 AM. By 4 AM, 3 downstream services were returning stale data, the backup was 6 hours old, and 14,000 customer records had corrupted timestamps. Monday morning: 72-hour incident. This tool forces risk assessment, rollback definition, data integrity verification, cutover planning, and stakeholder alignment.
