The Commons Model
Moving from extraction (rent-seeking) to stewardship (shared equity). Assets are governed by the community to ensure long-term viability.
Moves beyond transactional loyalty to "stakeholder equity." Maximizes Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) by recruiting brand partners rather than just acquiring customers.
A modern Country Club model without predatory lock-in. Guests hold "equity," reducing operational overhead as members police the vibe themselves.
