{{ExpertIntro|We are heading towards a progressive democratization model where subscription revenue (CHF 10 annually) distributes equally across four stakeholder groups, with emerging governance shifting from founder control toward community oversight as scale increases.

== Annual Value Growth ==
To protect early adopters and ensure sustainability, it is proposed that subscriptions could increase by up to 5% annually (5% being a maximum-cap hypothesis, not a guaranteed rate). Whether and at what rate this applies is an open question to be decided during Prototype 1:
A possible annual percentage increase is under study through a draft [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Annual Value Increase|Open Call]] (not yet launched); no percentage is decided.
