Fleshes out §12 backlog item #2 into a full section, plus operator-requested partner-network additions.

§12 Sustainability economics & health metrics (new): "non-profit ≠ needn't cover costs" framed vs §7 (501(c)(3)/volunteer/LLM-deflated) and the §11 UBIT band; parametric break-even N* ≈ F/(m−v) + an illustrative revenue-by-maker-band table; North Star = % of GMV cross-maker-referred + leading indicators tied to §9 gates and the §7 order-history asset; volunteer-sustainability reliability-floor economics.
§7 "Partner / consultant network" (new subsection): tapering share of the maker's earned referral income, out-of-flow invariants (principal-on-both-sides, Phase-2 cashable-rail consumer, stateful-tier ledger, curation-integrity guardrail), and the cash/terms-stay-off-network rule.
Backlog → §13, renumbered; cross-refs reconciled (§7, §9, §10).

Brainstorming session 0038.

docs: flesh §12 Sustainability economics & health metrics; backlog → §13 452acc97b0

Promote §12 backlog item #2 into a full section (parametric unit-economics
break-even, "non-profit ≠ needn't cover costs" vs §7/§11 UBIT, North Star =
% GMV cross-maker-referred + leading indicators tied to §9 gates and the §7
order-history asset, volunteer-sustainability reliability-floor economics).
Renumber backlog §12 → §13 (remove promoted item, renumber remainder),
fix cross-refs (§7, §9, §10), OHM-grounded per top-of-file note.

docs: §7 partner-compensation model (tapering share of maker referral income); reflect in §12 d85317a810

Specify the §7 "Partner / consultant network" compensation mechanism: a maker
may pay a partner a negotiated, front-loaded/tapering share of its *earned*
referral income (curator credits) for storefront stand-up + network onboarding,
with negotiation tooling. Rides existing invariants — principal-on-both-sides
(out of flow), a fourth consumer of the Phase-2 cashable rail, stateful
cumulative-tier settlement (Appendix C.5 pattern), and the curation-integrity
guardrail (no say in whom the maker vouches for). Reflect in §12 unit economics
as maker-borne activation cost / referral-activation driver, not a platform line.

docs: promote partner network to its own §7 subsection; cash/terms stay off-network c5f9f11591

Break the partner-compensation model out of the "Business model" subsection into
a dedicated §7 "Partner / consultant network: onboarding the high-touch tail"
subsection. Add the money-flow clarification: the referral-income split is the
only leg the network settles (principal-on-both-sides, out of flow); any upfront
cash, setup fee, retainer, milestone, or other agreement is a direct off-platform
deal between maker and partner — the network never takes custody (custody is the
line). Tooling may record an off-network term (coordination) but never moves it.

docs: add illustrative revenue-by-maker-band table to §12 unit economics 92bc17748e

Worked-scenario table (explicitly illustrative, not validated) beneath the
parametric break-even formula: revenue by maker band (2 → 1,000) at midpoint
assumptions, broken into Pro fees / Starter % / referral spread. Reinforces the
parametric conclusions — revenue mix flips toward Pro + spread with maturity,
and break-even (~150–300 makers) sits well past the dozen-maker §9 demand gate.
