Meet Ströma Prints, a made-up shop selling mugs and t-shirts.
Ströma Prints, before the change
The shop has cash for 14.2 weeks of its €700 weekly bills. The line marks the four weeks it has chosen to keep.
Change the fee to see what the shop would have left. Editing it resets the example.
The printer charges €180 a week. Twelve weeks of notice means €2,160 still to pay, even with no orders.
A bank balance can look available even when you have already agreed to pay it out. Rent and supplier bills keep coming when orders slow. Check those commitments before taking on more.
The €180 weekly minimum continues until the notice period ends.
Three weeks of notice leaves €540 to pay: €1,620 less. The change fee is a separate cost; rent and other bills remain.
"What are the odds orders stop?"
Lucid gives no odds.
The contract cannot tell you whether orders will stop. More sales history does not change this refusal.
What you can check: €2,160 owed on leaving under the original terms, or €540 for notice under the shorter terms.
Why the orders question gets no verdict
Before spending, the shop chose to protect €2,800: four weeks of €700 bills. A change that would leave less is refused, however much it might earn.
Recorded business bills are a separate total. You also record any promise to pay from your own pocket. The shop's bank balance may not be all you could lose.
The code that adds up recorded payments is written and tested. Shop connections and the full decision process are still to come.
Who it's for, what's ready, and what comes next.
