Demo · The Commercial Model

Run the numbers yourself.

Pick an upfront tier, choose a Features Budget level, and see what the monthly payments look like against your projected revenue ramp. Every number here is the same number in the spreadsheet — this is just the live version.

Your choices

The tier sets the upfront cash, the build recoupment, and the permanent revenue share percentage. The Features Budget is a separate optional retainer that runs on top.

Lower tiers mean more long-term partnership (higher permanent revenue share). Higher tiers mean more traditional vendor shape (lower ongoing commitment).

Funds new feature work beyond Phase 1 — the cosmetic economy, mobile apps, school licensing, and anything else from the full vision. Completely separate from the four core buckets. Default matches your stated preference to move aggressively post-launch.

At a glance

What this tier looks like in the four core buckets. The Features Budget sits alongside, not inside.

Upfront cash $140K Paid at signing
Build gap $90K Recouped over ~48 mo
Permanent rev share 10% Of gross monthly revenue
Recoup complete Month 19 Then only rev share + maint

What you pay each month

Revenue ramp is the baseline assumption from the commercial model. Your real numbers will differ — plug them into the spreadsheet to see how the math shifts.

Timeline Your revenue Build recoup Rev share Maintenance Features Total monthly
A note on the early months: in the first 3–6 months post-launch, your monthly Axios payment exceeds your subscription revenue. You told us PALS is doing well financially and can bridge that gap from operating budget — so we've built the model without a grace period. If that changes, we can design one in.

Over the first five years

The total you'll pay across upfront + recoupment + rev share + maintenance + Features Budget, based on the same revenue ramp.

At signing $140K Upfront cash only
Year 1 post-launch $— Monthly payments total
Years 1–3 total $— Including upfront
Years 1–5 total $— Including upfront
These numbers are for the five-year horizon. The permanent revenue share continues beyond Year 5 — the contract will include mutual termination and buyout clauses so the relationship can be renegotiated if either side's situation changes.
