alt Hacker NewsYeah I also don't quite understand the example on the homepage... they agreed to 50/50 and then she wanted 70/30 so now they settle on 60/40? Like this doesn't seem like a "fair" mediation it's kind of weird (obviously oversimplifying the situation a bit but nonetheless I'm not sure real world conflicts are this simple in practice)

They wanted 50/50, but from the vignette Daniel didn’t continue to do 50% of the work.

You raise a good point. The issue is presentation - leading with the 60/40 reads like midpoint arbitration, whereas the interesting part is Daniel's path back to 50/50, the management salary, the mutual waiver on the first 18 months (which is what settles his rent contribution), and the shotgun buy-sell.
I've made some changes that should help with this.
