Launch Phase (1 week)

Final testing, deployment, and initial marketing of the web application.

4. Revenue Sharing Model (Draft)

Draft Terms: These percentages and terms are preliminary and subject to change based on market conditions and operational costs.

Revenue Share Percentage

Idea creators receive a percentage of net subscription revenue:

Standard Rate: 15-25% of net revenue (after operational costs)

Collaborative Ideas: Shared percentage among multiple contributors

Payment Terms

Payments made quarterly (January, April, July, October)
Minimum payout threshold: $50

Revenue Calculation

Net revenue is calculated as:

Gross Revenue - (Hosting Costs + Payment Processing + Marketing Spend + Platform Fees) = Net Revenue

6. Duplicate and Similar Ideas
