Eight ways in
Which way in costs least?
For the size you pick: each model at its list price, and how many evaluation attempts cost less than one Instant account of the same size. No pass rate is assumed.
At $100K: each way in at its list price, against one Instant Lite account ($1,299).

FundedSquad consistency rule, worked out
FundedSquad states no consistency rules on its home page, and no model article sets one. Each row is at the size shown.
Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.
