PR-FAQ (Tier-2 reviewer gaps):
- Shopify-copies-the-tool: first-class-not-hard framing + cuttle.xyz/LLM-tool
integration headroom; 'tool is the wedge, network is the moat'
- featured maker's (B-side) consent + economics
- ballpark F (~$75-150k/yr) and the 'F is not the cloud bill' reliability core
- operational drop-time reliability (blast radius + funded core)
Referral-model evolution (PR-FAQ + memo, source-of-truth reconciled):
- platform spread stays FIXED (~3-5%, $-capped) — the network's referral
revenue line, unchanged in §12
- Maker A's reward becomes NEGOTIABLE above the spread (flat/tiered/max-$ cap,
renegotiable), floored at the spread; maker<->maker only
- per-relationship approval: B must approve being curated by A
- ranking-neutrality as a STRUCTURAL guarantee: platform ranks for conversion
but never by referral economics, credible because its spread is constant
- non-maker taste-makers keep uniform, non-biddable rates (peer-respect
counterweight absent)
Memo ports: §2 (first-class/cuttle), §7 Curated-By guardrails + Referral
economics + catalog-presence + taste-maker tier, §7 partner comp, §12 spread
+ Goodhart guardrails.
