# Financial Comparison Glossary Use this skill to prevent conceptual confusion in financial tools, due diligence reports, risk screens, calculators, and client explanations. It is a public/portable glossary layer, not a substitute for a full financial model audit. This file is self-contained for loaders that read only `SKILL.md`. If calculator/model integrity skills are available, use them too when building or verifying numbers; otherwise apply the checks below directly. ## Core Rule Do not let a polished interface or memo blur financial categories. If two concepts are different, label them differently and make the model/report show the difference. ## Concepts To Distinguish - `Cash flow` vs `Profit`: cash flow is timing of cash in/out; profit is accounting result after expenses. A profitable model can have cash stress; positive cash flow is not automatically approved dividends. - `EBIT` vs `EBITDA`: EBIT includes depreciation/amortization impact; EBITDA excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is not free cash flow. - `CapEx` vs `OpEx`: CapEx purchases long-term assets and affects cash at purchase; OpEx supports ongoing operations and affects current-period

Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
