Note on Post-Discovery Unit Economics
All phases following Phase 1 Discovery are contingent on the recommendations delivered after the Discovery Phase.
This means:
The Definition-to-Deployment pathway is not pre-set.
Each organization’s roadmap depends on what is uncovered, validated, and prioritized during Discovery.The Recommendations Book is the pivotal output of Phase 1.
It outlines:
What should be built, automated, or restructured
Which departments or stakeholders are involved
The estimated value creation and cost justification
A phased deployment model with decision gates
Unit Economics for future phases (Definition Phase 2 and beyond) are scoped based on:
Complexity and scale of implementation
Level of coordination required across teams
Tech stack readiness and partner engagement
Client's appetite for risk, velocity, and transformation depth
In short:
Discovery is not just research into your organization’s current state—it’s the architectural foundation that frames what’s worth doing, what it will cost, and how value will be delivered.
Everything beyond it is built on the clarity this phase provides.

Actively participate in at least one program, pilot, or project per quarter.
Align your contribution with your core belief and area of focus.
Log your activity, outcomes, and value delivered.
Receive access to shared platforms, exposure, and compensation frameworks.
You can choose your time commitment level to assure expectations are met, for example:
2 hrs/month → Low-intensity contribution

5–10 hrs/week → Lead role in one or more projects
20+ hrs/week → Executive-level contribution
Why It Matters
Your participation is not a transaction…it’s a stake in our vision of timelessness through the dedication to our mission of time well spent.
The debt you carry is not financial, it’s relational, purposeful, and mutually reinforcing. We succeed because you show up…and because the system is built to reward and recirculate that energy into greater opportunity for all.
We’re not asking for passive membership…we’re inviting your active participation...to lead with a compassionate heart, to work through complexities and present simplicity as you remain focused as a team, to unify into one elegant movement, to transform yourself and your community through co-creation.
This is a critical moment to build together. The more you engage, the more you help shape a regenerative ecosystem that works for all of us.
