Can I code Clerky?

Filling a standard incorporation document template shares this register's DocuSign-style build pattern. Cap table math and legal correctness for equity issuance carry real financial and legal weight that basic templating doesn't cover.

how this is worked out

Why CanICodeThis says Borderline

Fill-in-the-blank incorporation document templates share this register's own document-generation build spec
Storing founder and equity information in a simple ledger is ordinary CRUD
E-signature on the generated documents shares this register's low-stakes DocuSign build pattern

Read before building

Cap table math (dilution across funding rounds, option pool sizing) needs to be genuinely correct — errors here have real financial consequences for real ownership stakes
Ensuring generated legal documents are correct for a specific state's incorporation law is a legal-review question, the same caution as this register's other legal-adjacent entries
409A valuations and option-grant compliance carry real regulatory weight

The build spec

Don't build cap table math or legal document generation for real equity issuance without review — the financial and legal stakes are real. For a simple internal record, a manually-maintained spreadsheet ledger of ownership is honest and safer than automating math you haven't verified. Use an actual incorporation service or lawyer for real company formation.

What it actually costs to build

Two real costs, not just "free": the AI agent's own usage, and hosting once it's running. Both are estimated from this app's own effort rating and component list — see the assumptions on the method page.

AI agent — with a subscription (Claude Pro/Max, Cursor, etc.)	$0 marginal
AI agent — pay-per-use API, no subscription	$43–$86 one-time
Hosting, once it's running	$0/mo (free tier)
Domain name, if you want your own	~$12/yr
