Counting the cost.
Contexto cultural
The 'rachunek sumienia' is a fundamental part of Polish upbringing, often linked to the first communion. It teaches children to categorize their actions as 'good' or 'bad' from a young age. In Polish startups, 'rachunek zysków i strat' is often shortened to 'rachunek wyników'. It is the most important document for investors. When a group of friends 'robi rachunek' in a restaurant, it's common to split the bill equally, but the calculation must be transparent. During the partitions of Poland, 'rachunek narodowy' (national reckoning) was a theme in literature, asking what the nation did wrong to lose its independence.

Don't be too serious
Don't use 'rachunek sumienia' for small mistakes like forgetting to buy milk, or you'll sound overly dramatic.
