Architect the revenue. Defend the unit economics.
Revenue architecture, unit economics, pricing thesis, and growth levers — the business behind the product.
When it triggers
Business Model generates after Foundation defines the value being captured.
The customer + value proposition decides who pays and what for; market intelligence decides at what price; your strategy decides on what motion.
An idea scored on commercial fit
A Foundation Blueprint locking the customer + wedge
Market intelligence on pricing benchmarks

FAQ
Business Model questions, answered.
How does the Business Model Blueprint differ from the Monetization Blueprint?
The Business Model Blueprint defines the revenue architecture — who pays, for what, in which motion, with which unit economics. The Monetization Blueprint commits to the specific tier packaging, pricing-ops, and price experimentation against that architecture.
How are the unit economics estimated?
From your Foundation customer + Market Intelligence benchmarks + chosen channel mix. Each input feeds an estimate band (low / base / high) for CAC, LTV, payback, and gross margin — not a single false-precision number.
Can I change the business model mid-build?
Yes. Versioned. When traction or pricing tests reshape the economics, you regenerate the blueprint against the new evidence — the Foundation, GTM, and Monetization blueprints stay in sync.
What do investors expect to see here?
A defensible unit-economics story, a credible expansion path, and a pricing thesis tied to value delivered — not a spreadsheet of made-up numbers. The blueprint produces all three in shape investors recognize.
When should I commit to monetization timing?
The blueprint flags the right monetization trigger — usage threshold, value milestone, time-in-product — based on your Foundation and GTM motion. You don't guess the timing; it's argued from the data.
Can it model multiple revenue streams?
Yes. Each stream (subscription, usage, services, marketplace take, etc.) is authored as its own line in the architecture with its own unit economics, then composed into one combined view.
