What you can do in Hedgerow on the web
Log the events you'd hedge
Title, date, category and the one number that matters — the dollars you actually lose if it goes against you. Not the wedding budget: the size of the hole.
Contracts, premium, coverage
Type the market price in cents and Hedgerow converts it to an implied probability, sizes the contracts, and shows the premium, the payout and how much of the hole is still uncovered.
Both ways it can go
A payoff panel for every event: net if it happens, net if it doesn't, and the reminder that losing the premium is the normal outcome.
The eight hand-written templates
Wedding rain, baby due-date, playoff travel, hurricane, RSU cliff, election, energy bill, concert resale — including the three where the honest answer is that no liquid hedge exists. Tap one to start an event from it.
Interactive cost calculator
Slide notional, market probability, hedge ratio and fee and watch the cost to fully hedge move — the same (notional × probability) + fee arithmetic the iPhone app runs, spelled out in words.
Primer and glossary
Three lessons before you size anything, plus plain-English definitions of YES/NO contracts, notional, hedge ratio, basis risk, liquidity and premium.
