Fractal Summary Profit Distribution with MugiSus

from Fractal Reader Development and Operations Diary Fractal Summary Profit Distribution with MugiSus 20240524

• Premise: (blu3mo) wants to turn Fractal Summary into a business.

  • Aiming to create a mechanism where income exceeds expenses, generating continuous profits.
    • More income than expenses. Like asking for a coffee? (MugiSus)
    • Want to implement a billing system to cover API costs, says (blu3mo).
    • From what I’ve heard from (nztm_tw), relying on donations seems difficult, according to (blu3mo).
    • Ah, so it’s about creating a mechanism where income exceeds expenses and generates continuous profits, right? (MugiSus)
      • Yes, that’s correct (blu3mo).

• Within this, (MugiSus) doesn’t think it’s right to involve them in joint development without any return.

• However, the extent of its success is uncertain. There is a high level of uncertainty.

• What would be the best approach?

  • How about distributing a percentage of potential future profits (income - expenses)?
    • Income: billing, donations, etc.
    • Expenses: server costs, API fees, etc.
      • Excluding the labor costs of (blu3mo) and (MugiSus).
  • There is a possibility that it may end up as unpaid work, so it might be fair to involve (MugiSus) in sharing some of the risks, thinks (blu3mo).

• Honestly, personally, I’m not comfortable with taking on responsibility in the form of a base salary, so I feel more at ease continuing with unpaid work (MugiSus).

  • I see (blu3mo).
  • So, if I were to receive a salary, I would prefer a method where I receive a portion when income is generated, rather than an hourly rate.
    • If that works for you since there is no initial capital, it would also be helpful for us (blu3mo).
    • That’s great! It would be very helpful (MugiSus).
    • Let’s go out for a meal when the income comes in (MugiSus).
      • +1 (blu3mo)
  • I know it’s a random number, but how about a 25% distribution? (blu3mo)
    • Taking into account that (blu3mo) has taken on/will take on losses as well.
    • I think that’s good 👍 (MugiSus).
    • I feel like I might be getting too much, but let’s see the actual figures and decide based on that (MugiSus).
    • Honestly, I think around 12.5% would be fine, but I’ll avoid asking for an excessively low amount here, as it could ultimately be a nuisance if it ends up lowering my motivation in the future (MugiSus).
      • 👍 (blu3mo)

• If there are no issues, let’s make this public and also archive it on webarchive (blu3mo).

  • OK (MugiSus) (MugiSus) (MugiSus)
