Checked 10 Jul 2026. This table is a price-input snapshot, not a cheapest-firm ranking.
Expected evaluation spend is not the sticker price
Under a simple repeated-attempt scenario, expected evaluation fees to one pass equal the fee divided by the assumed single-attempt pass probability.
A $100 fee with a 20% pass assumption produces $500 of expected evaluation fees before activation, recurring months, resets, tax, or the funded-stage path.
Expected evaluation fees to one pass = evaluation fee / P(pass)Passing is not the cash outcome
A passed evaluation can still fail to reach a payout. That is why the Decision Lab separates P(pass) from P(payout given pass) and charges activation only in the branch where a pass occurs.
The output is only as good as the assumptions. Its value is making those assumptions visible enough to reject a weak purchase case.
EV = P(pass) x P(payout | pass) x net payout - fee - P(pass) x activationWhat this public model leaves out
The public calculator deliberately stays small. It does not infer a true pass rate from a firm's rules and it does not expose the member replay engine.
- Optional reset behavior and discount timing.
- Extra monthly billing cycles and taxes.
- Slippage, strategy correlation and future rule changes.
- The funded-stage probability and payout path beyond one modeled payout.
