Why now
Revenue waterfall is decided in principle. Specific percentages, distribution formulas, and R&D governance still need design and constitutional language.
Depends on
G-003

Specific waterfall percentages, Franchise distribution formulas, R&D pool governance, free-rider treatment.

Why this matters

Entry 004 commits the principle: a transparent revenue waterfall — infrastructure, R&D pool, Franchise distribution, then excess governed by Need-vs-Greed. The specifics still need design and constitutional drafting:

  • Specific percentages at each waterfall stage
  • Whether Franchise distribution is uniform or proportional (by traffic, contributor count, or some other signal)
  • Free-rider question: should a Franchise that also runs no membership/sponsorship still receive Network distribution
  • R&D pool governance — Council-only? Community proposals? Annual budget?
