Component 3
5% of Stripe revenue, perpetual
Wired into payment infrastructure. Replaces vendor build fees and monthly retainers. Half the rate Uscreen takes.
The 5% is the heart of the deal. It's how we get paid to build, maintain, and continuously improve the platform — without you ever cutting a check for development work again. Uscreen takes 10% of your revenue today for hosting video. We take 5% for building the entire platform: Waise Consultant, course library, intake, partner directory, payment infrastructure, and ongoing development. The fee is wired into Stripe at the payment-billing proxy, which means there's no monthly invoice, no reconciliation, and no "is the math right?" question.
How It Works
Using Stripe Connect (or a payment-routing layer), every transaction on the platform splits at the moment of payment. Wise Counsel receives 95%. Cenac Enterprises receives 5%. Both halves settle into separate accounts. No human ever moves money.
All platform development, all maintenance, all uptime monitoring, all security patches, all new feature work, all infrastructure costs (hosting, AI compute, vector storage, transcription tooling). You never pay another development invoice.
The 5% is wired into the current platform's payment infrastructure. If a future buyer of the platform rewires their own payment system, the fee won't follow. We accept that risk because the equity is where the exit value sits. The 5% is the long-haul operating revenue that keeps us building.
Your Protections
Questions You Might Have
Because the build is never really done. Platforms that stop being maintained die. The 5% means we keep building forever — new AI capabilities, new integrations, new courses, new features your members ask for. There's no version where we ship and walk away.
Then we both have a small income from this. The 5% scales with your success. If the platform makes $100K, we make $5K. If it makes $2M, we make $100K. Our incentives are identical to yours: grow the membership, deepen engagement, raise tier conversion. We're paid when you're paid.
The 5% applies to revenue flowing through the new platform's Stripe checkout. Existing legacy systems aren't retroactively included. Phase 0 will map this clearly.
