Pillar 6

Subscription & Stripe Spine

$49 / $89 / $299. Waise Consultant unlocks at Partner tier.

Your current pricing stays. What changes is where the upgrade pressure comes from. Today, Associate ($49) and Premium ($89) members get content. Partner ($299) members get something better. We make that "something better" the Waise Consultant — exclusive, valuable, the reason to upgrade. Books, course bundles, one-time purchases, and live event tickets all flow through one Stripe checkout. The 5% partnership fee is wired into the payment infrastructure at the protocol level — no manual reconciliation, no monthly invoice.

How It Works

The architecture

1

Step 1 — Three tiers, one checkout

Associate ($49/mo), Premium ($89/mo), Partner ($299/mo). Same prices as today. Same product structure. New checkout experience.

2

Step 2 — Waise Consultant as the upgrade hook

Associate and Premium members can use the platform's library, intake, and book live engagements. Partner members get unlimited Waise Consultant access. The AI itself nudges members toward upgrade when it sees a Partner-tier need ("This is exactly the kind of question I'm built for — Partner-tier gives you unlimited access").

3

Step 3 — Stripe checkout for one-time items

Books, course bundles outside the subscription, event tickets, one-on-one coaching sessions — all flow through the same Stripe pipeline. One card on file. One invoice history.

4

Step 4 — Partnership fee at the protocol level

The 5% fee splits at Stripe via Stripe Connect or a payment-billing proxy. Wise Counsel sees its net deposit. Cenac Enterprises sees its share. No monthly reconciliation, no "trust me" math.

Where This Lives Today

Existing executions

We’re not theorizing. These patterns are already running in our active builds. The Wise Counsel platform inherits the proven architecture.
