Why now
Revenue waterfall and contributor ad sovereignty are decided in principle. The specifics — formats, density caps, AI licensing posture — are still open and structurally consequential.
Depends on

Blocks
Launch, B-008

Specific waterfall percentages, ad envelope details (formats, density caps, ad-free page types), AI licensing specifics, B2B revenue posture.

Why this matters

Revenue waterfall and contributor ad sovereignty are decided in principle (Entries 004 and 005). Still open:

  • Specific waterfall percentages
  • Ad envelope details — formats permitted, density caps, ad-free page types (entity pages? all canon? LoreLines?)
  • Free-rider question on Franchise distribution
  • R&D pool governance specifics
  • AI licensing posture — opt-in vs opt-out for contributor work, how revenue routes back
  • B2B / studios revenue posture (G-032)
