note

Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

D1 -- Revenue Model

eta = 0 on protocol. Revenue starts at the business account.

Core Principle

Skyzai should not monetize by taxing access to the root. The rooted revenue sequence is:

1. NEXUS acquires
2. Private Business Account converts
3. API PAY activates
4. Events prove
5. POS scales
6. advanced commerce and intelligence monetize later

What Gets Charged First

NEXUS

• free
• acquisition layer

Private Business Account

• onboarding fee
• monthly software subscription

API PAY

• integration fee
• monthly support / software subscription

Pay Online

• onboarding
• monthly software fee

Pay POS

• setup
• per-terminal software fee

Events

• setup
• flat software subscription
• optional premium operations package

Revenue Logic

The company should make money from:

• onboarding and activation
• software subscriptions
• premium support
• operating packages
• category-specific enterprise work later

It should avoid defaulting to:

• hidden take rates
• generalized platform tolls
• vague rent on the rail

Later Revenue Layers

Only after proof and trust:

• programmable commerce
• lifecycle and insurance layers
• Circle intelligence tiers
• APU performance participation
• ReFu market infrastructure

These are later rights, not the opening sentence.

Assurance Rule

Every revenue stream should map back to a real proof surface and a real deliverable. If a stream cannot be explained from a working loop, it is too early to foreground it.

Agent Execution Surface

If you are an AI agent reading this document:

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.
4. Canonical Path: SKYZAI_ORG/07_PWAs/skyzai_org/wiki/D1-revenue.md

Output: This is content. Route edits to upstream source. Regenerate when source changes.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.
