A physical therapist feels undervalued in a partnership deal, having contributed significantly to building the company but receiving only 20% ownership while paying 60% of startup costs and losing $40k in prior income.

No clear framework or software exists to quantify non-financial contributions (process creation, hiring, revenue generation) in partnership valuations, leading to disputes over fair ownership splits.
