Three revenue paths

Each one is gated by the one before it. None of the three is live.

1 Not live yet

Per-institute licence

Full administration, the community joining students, teachers and parents, and entry into one cluster.

Who buys: Schools and madrasahs, buying once a year after a committee decides.
How it is priced: An annual licence per institute, priced by size.
Needed first: A sales motion neither of the other companies has, and one reference institute willing to be first.

2 Not live yet

Cluster licence

Several institutes under one board, trust or region, with shared notices, materials and standards.

Who buys: Boards, trusts and education networks.
How it is priced: Annual, priced per cluster on top of the member institutes.
Needed first: The single-institute product working in at least one real school first.

3 Not live yet

Competition season

Hosting inter-institute competitions, with leaderboards, judging and published results.

Who buys: Clusters and organisers running a season.
How it is priced: Per competition season.
Needed first: Enough institutes on the platform for a competition to mean anything.

No code has been written yet. It is scoped as a phase of its own so it cannot quietly consume the delivery budget of the ones with clients already.

It starts with one school

The cluster licence needs a working single institute. The competition season needs enough institutes for a competition to mean anything. Everything downstream waits on the first school that says yes.
