The revenue side
The revenue lines are the program-agnostic set
introduced in Chapter 5 and Reward Partner
subscriptions, patron contributions, discovery and
referral fees, corridor and EPR sponsorship,
department and tourism-board contracts, and
audited data products. The crucial property for the
model is that they are shared across programs and
grow with corridors, so revenue scales with the
breadth of the rollout while the build cost is paid
only once. The model treats Tourism Excellence as
the strongest direct earner, cleanliness as the
builder of the Reward Partner and patron base, and
Volunteer and Healthy as public-value programs
likely to be cross-subsidised; a portfolio, not seven
identical earners.
Three scenarios
The model runs three scenarios over a multi-year
horizon from first capitalisation. They differ in how
fast corridors activate, how readily Reward Partners
and patrons sign on, and how quickly the data
products mature. All three share the same cost
structure and the same trivially small inference line;
what varies is the speed of the revenue ramp.
