Decision-family worked example / Fictional cards

Compare three fictional cards using the same purchase. Inspect the arithmetic and assumptions, rather than treating the result as a real-card recommendation.

Compare the example cards.

Net example rewards = example rewards − example FX fee

Fictional fixed rates, not real-card recommendations. Interest, annual fees, caps, exclusions and redemption values are not included.

Groceries, £180.00 example purchase. Rewards Plus has the highest net example result, £5.40. Difference from the lowest example result: £4.50.

Example rates and limits
Assumed rates for Groceries; no real card products.
Fictional cardBase rewardExample bonusExample FX fee
Everyday Card1%0%0%
Rewards Plus3%0%0%
Travel Card0.5%0%0%

These are fictional rates. The online bonus is assumed to stack with the base rate. Travel amounts are already GBP equivalents; no currency conversion takes place.

Interest, annual fees, caps, exclusions and redemption values are not included. The net result is not the total cost or benefit of using a real card.

Calculations use the stated rates without intermediate rounding. Currency is rounded to two decimal places for display.

The same assumptions.
Three comparisons.

Load an example to inspect all three rows and the rates behind them.

01

A grocery category rate

For a £180.00 example purchase, Rewards Plus uses 3% and Everyday Card uses 1%.

Rewards Plus £5.40Everyday Card £1.80Difference £3.60

The calculator's separate highest-to-lowest comparison is £5.40 − Travel Card £0.90 = £4.50.

02

A sample foreign-currency fee

For £1,200.00 of GBP-equivalent example spend, Everyday Card earns £12.00 and subtracts the assumed £33.00 FX fee, giving -£21.00. Travel Card gives £24.00 under its example terms.

Travel Card £24.00Everyday Card (-£21.00)Difference £45.00

03

An assumed stacked bonus

For a £1,400.00 example online purchase, Everyday Card uses 1% base plus the assumed 5% bonus.

Everyday Card £84.00Travel Card £14.00Difference £70.00

One amount. The same calculation for every row.

  1. Choose the context

    The category selects a prepared set of example rates.

  2. Apply the assumptions

    Rewards use the base rate plus any stated example bonus. The travel example also subtracts its assumed FX fee.

  3. Read the difference

    The comparison shows the highest and lowest net example results for that purchase.

What works in this preview.

You can change a hypothetical purchase, inspect the rate table, load a worked example and prepare a general enquiry. Real cards, account access and payments are outside this preview.

LemmyPay is a worked example in the decision family. Omega Decision Mesh is the method/research layer; ODM is the proposed pilot experience. A decision record keeps context, sources, constraints and human authority visible; an observed outcome records what happened later without proving causation. Real-product comparison would need current terms, country eligibility, data-update ownership, disclosures and a separately reviewed scope. No financial-service launch or independent commercial funnel is being prepared here.

Omega’s method, in this example.

Local explanatory excerpt from the decision-family research. Omega describes a proposed review layer, not a connected service.

  1. Identify inputs and criteria

    Record the source, freshness and permitted use of the information. Here, the amount and category are inputs; all card rates are fixed fictional assumptions. Net example value is only one criterion.

  2. Keep gaps visible

    Actual eligibility, current terms, other costs and personal circumstances are not supplied. An unknown must remain a question, rather than a confident score.

  3. Review before action

    Keep facts, assumptions and explanation together. A person retains authority; the calculator changes no account or payment. A later observed outcome would need a real decision and evidence.

Omega supplies the method/research; ODM is the proposed pilot experience; LemmyPay is the worked arithmetic example. This local excerpt is based on Omega’s proposed architecture.

A shared decision vocabulary.

Input/source
Information supplied for a decision, with its origin, date and permitted use distinguished from assumptions.
Assumption
A stated condition used in the example; it is not a verified fact about a real provider.
Criterion
A named basis for comparison, such as cost, timing or flexibility.
Unresolved fact
Missing or conflicting information that remains a question for review.
Human approval
A person’s explicit authority for a particular action, with limits; viewing a comparison grants none.
Calculated result
The output of stated arithmetic under the supplied assumptions; it is not a recommendation or an observed outcome.
Observed outcome
What was recorded after an actual decision. An observation alone does not establish causation or transferability.

Questions about the calculator.

Are these real cards or current offers?

No. Everyday Card, Rewards Plus and Travel Card are fictional examples with fixed rates shown in the calculator.

What can I change?

The example category and purchase amount. The rates are fixed; you can inspect them in the assumptions table.

What does the net result mean?

Example rewards minus the example FX fee for one purchase. It is not a calculation of every cost or a recommendation for a real card.

Does Travel abroad convert currency?

No. The amount is already expressed as a GBP equivalent. The model applies only the disclosed example reward and fee rates.

Why does the grocery example show £3.60 rather than £4.50?

The worked example compares Rewards Plus (£5.40) with Everyday Card (£1.80). The calculator compares the highest result with the lowest, Travel Card (£0.90). The named baseline explains the difference.

Are any accounts connected or payments made?

No. The calculator runs locally using the example amount and category. It requests no bank login, card number or account details.

Can I ask about the project?

Yes. The contact section prepares an email draft to the interim enquiry address. You review and send it through your own email service; it creates no account or waitlist entry.

Is there a launch date?

No launch date, supported real-card list or connected product is announced by this preview.
