Here for yourself or your family? None of this touches you — everything you need is free

Value-share contracts

A small piece of the value we help create. Never a piece of someone's need.

Revenue is frozen — except what feeds the family.

Sponsorships, donations, profit shares and every third-party earning path on this platform are still revoked and turned off. The only streams collecting money are the ones that pay the founder's household directly — licensing, professional training, API access and workforce coverage. Help, tools and support stay free and stay on.

Frozen since August 15, 2026 · family income reopened August 16, 2026

When our work fills a bed, recovers a wage, avoids a readmission, wins an award, or ships a product, we share in that upside — single digits, capped in writing, measured the same way by both sides. That slice funds research, development, and strength for the many across the 🌎.

Above every contract

Six rules no agreement is allowed to break.

A share of gain, never a share of need

Every percentage on this page attaches to money that came in or cost that went away because of work we did. No person in crisis is ever on the other side of one of these contracts. The free floor is untouched by all of it.

Small on purpose

Single digits, always. A small percentage of real value beats a large percentage nobody signs. If our slice ever makes a partner hesitate to serve someone, the slice is wrong and we cut it.

Capped and endable

Every agreement carries a written ceiling and a plain-language exit. Thirty days' notice, no penalty, no clawback, no lock-in dressed up as a partnership.

Measured the same way by both sides

The baseline and the definition are fixed in writing before go-live, and both parties read the same ledger. If a number can only be produced by us, it does not count.

Never on placement, ranking, or a person's data

We do not sell position, priority, or attention, and no share is ever calculated from a person's identity, story, or record. Referrals follow fit, and only fit.

Published, not implied

The structure lives here in public. Any partner can see exactly what every other partner agreed to, so nobody negotiates in the dark.

The lines we will sign

Eight agreements. One basis each.

Each contract names exactly what we did, what the percentage attaches to, where the ceiling sits, and the conditions under which we take nothing at all.

Net new revenue

Treatment facilities & providers

Filled beds from verified referrals that reached them through our matching desk.

1.5% of net new admission revenue, first 12 months only

Capped at 2× their annual subscription

How it is measured
Matched referral ID to admission record, reconciled monthly, both sides see the same ledger.
Why they sign
No paid placement, no per-referral fee, no ranking for sale — they only share upside they actually collected.
We take nothing when
The referral came from anywhere else, or the admission did not happen.

Verified cost avoided

Health systems, insurers, agencies

Coordinated cases that stop the repeat cycle — readmissions, duplicate assessments, avoidable ED visits.

3% of independently verified cost avoided

Capped at 25% of the annual license fee

How it is measured
Baseline agreed in writing before go-live; a mutually accepted third party validates the delta.
Why they sign
They keep 97% of the savings and pay nothing if the savings do not materialize.
We take nothing when
The baseline is not met, or the savings cannot be verified by an outside party.

Verified cost avoided

Employers & workforce programs

Employees kept through a family crisis instead of lost to turnover and rehiring.

2% of avoided turnover cost per retained employee

Capped at 12 months of their per-employee fee

How it is measured
Confidential aggregate retention counts only — never a named employee, never a case detail.
Why they sign
Cheaper than one rehire, and the worker's confidentiality is contractually absolute.
We take nothing when
Anything would require identifying the employee who asked for help.

Revenue recovered

Employers who owed back wages (paid by the employer, never the worker)

Documentation and coordination that gets misclassified or unpaid workers made whole.

0% from the worker · 2% billed to the paying employer where law allows

Never more than the employer's own administrative cost of the dispute

How it is measured
Recovered amount on the settlement or payroll correction record.
Why they sign
Faster, quieter correction than an enforcement action.
We take nothing when
Always, if any portion would come out of the worker's recovery.

Grant or award won

Organizations we help win funding

Data, outcome reporting, and narrative that turn an application into an award.

1% of awarded amount, or a flat fee — their choice, whichever is lower

Hard cap of $25,000 per award

How it is measured
Award letter. One line, no interpretation needed.
Why they sign
They pay from money they did not have before, and only if they won.
We take nothing when
The funder prohibits it, or the applicant is a family or a survivor-led group.

Licensed invention

Companies licensing our filed inventions

Three filed patents plus the coordination platform they would otherwise spend years building.

2–4% of revenue attributable to the licensed capability

Negotiated annual ceiling per population band

How it is measured
Attributable-revenue definition fixed in the contract before signature; audited annually.
Why they sign
Cheaper than one engineering quarter, with the regulated workflow already solved.
We take nothing when
The capability is used to serve people at no charge.

Product royalty

Manufacturers & builders using our specs

Open specifications — green retrofit, recycling routes, care-coordination hardware patterns.

1% royalty on units sold commercially

Waived entirely below $250k annual unit revenue

How it is measured
Unit shipment reports, self-reported, spot-audited.
Why they sign
The spec stays free to read, learn from, and build for nonprofit use forever.
We take nothing when
Units go to families, schools, shelters, or farms at or below cost.

Net new revenue

Software companies embedding our matching

Matching and coordination served through our API instead of a multi-year regulated build.

1% of revenue on the surfaces our API powers

Free trial tier, then capped at their metered spend

How it is measured
API call and match volume, visible to both parties in real time.
Why they sign
Ship in weeks, and the percentage stops the moment they stop using it.
We take nothing when
The integration serves a free or public-benefit product.

Plain-language term sheet

Eight clauses. Hand it straight to your counsel.

This is the whole shape of the agreement. No side letters, no hidden schedule, no clause that only makes sense to us.

  1. 1. What we do

    We name the specific work in the agreement — matching, coordination, documentation, licensing, or specification — and nothing outside that scope creates a claim.

  2. 2. What we share in

    One defined basis per agreement: revenue recovered, verified cost avoided, net new revenue, an award won, a license, or a unit royalty. Chosen and written down before work begins.

  3. 3. The percentage and the cap

    A single-digit percentage with a written ceiling. Reaching the ceiling ends the obligation for that period; it never rolls forward.

  4. 4. How it is measured

    Agreed baseline, agreed definition, shared ledger, and outside validation for any cost-avoidance claim. Disputed amounts are simply not billed.

  5. 5. Attribution window

    Twelve months from the event we contributed to. After that, the value is theirs alone with no continuing claim.

  6. 6. Privacy floor

    No share is ever computed from identifiable information about a person served. Aggregate, de-identified figures only, and the person's consent governs their own record.

  7. 7. Exit

    Either side ends it with thirty days' written notice. Amounts already earned settle; nothing further accrues; data exports on request.

  8. 8. Hardship override

    If billing our share would reduce services to people in crisis, the share is waived for that period. This clause outranks every other term in the agreement.

Where the percentage goes

Research first. Then the free side. Never extraction.

First

Research and development

This is the whole reason the percentages exist. Protected R&D budget so the tools keep getting better for the people who cannot pay for them.

Second

Keep the free side running

Infrastructure, encryption, phone lines, and the people answering at 3 a.m.

Third

Pay our own people on published bands

Upward-only corrections. A care platform that underpays caregivers is not a care platform.

Fourth

The solidarity fund

A fixed share to causes that cannot get support anywhere else — small survivor-led groups, rural programs, one-off household emergencies. Published line by line.

Never

Extraction

No dividend, no sale of the platform, no investor who gets to reprice the free floor.

If our slice ever slows down care, our slice is gone.

The hardship override outranks every other term. We would rather lose the percentage than have it sit between a family and the help they came for.
