Threshold net benefit comparison
Compare a fixed decision rule with treating everyone or no one at a stated threshold.

Enter one row in the stated TP,FP,FN,TN order, followed by a threshold strictly between 0 and 1. The classification rule must correspond to that threshold. Higher net benefit is preferable at this chosen trade-off; negative values are worse than treating none. This is a single-threshold comparison, not a decision curve.
The starting values are hypothetical. Results update as you edit. Use aggregate or synthetic inputs only.

How to interpret the output
At a specified threshold t, net benefit is TP/N − FP/N × t/(1−t). The threshold encodes a relative trade-off. Counts must come from the same target population and decision rule. Clinical adoption requires separate evidence.
