### Vesting Schedule & Democratic Validation

#### Tranche 1: Design Phase (30% - 24,660 SC)
**Trigger**: Recruitment of 2+ Team Captains  
**Validation**: Team Captain review + Leadership Team vote  
**Work Focus**: 
- Recent Smartup model development (180h)
- Currency ledger system (120h) 
- OSBP documentation (140h)
- Progressive transparency architecture (80h)
- Timeline0 website (100h)

**Rationale**: Recent work that Team Captains can directly evaluate and validate.

#### Tranche 2: Production Phase (40% - 32,880 SC)  
**Trigger**: Community maturity (50+ owners) OR working MVP  
**Validation**: Community binding vote  
**Work Focus**:

- Complete business model development (180h)
- Comprehensive research documentation (200h)
- Academic collaborations and validation (300h)

#### Tranche 3: Organization Phase (30% - 24,660 SC)

- Long-term strategic positioning (100h)

**Rationale**: Historical R&D that enabled everything else - validated by market success.

### Democratic Safeguards & Integrity Measures

1. **No Self-Validation**: Founder cannot approve own SC awards
2. **Escalating Validation**: Each tranche requires higher community participation
3. **Evidence-Based**: Every SC claim linked to verifiable public documentation
4. **Vesting Alignment**: Founder success tied to collective success
5. **Community Override**: Any tranche can be reduced/rejected by community vote

### Comparison to Traditional Startup Equity

**Traditional Startup Founder**:
- Takes 20-50% equity immediately
- Can cash out through investment rounds
- Success not tied to employee welfare
- No community oversight

**Smartup Zero Founder**:
- Earns SC only through validated work
- Cannot cash out until community succeeds
- Subject to democratic approval process
- Success tied to collective achievement

### Questions for Future Validation

**For Team Captains (Tranche 1)**:
1. Does the recent validation phase work (2024-2025) justify 24,660 SC?
2. Are the technical implementations (currency system, website) of professional quality?
3. Is the Smartup model innovative enough to warrant the governance SC awards?

**For Community (Tranche 2)**:
1. Does the 10-year development journey create sufficient value for 32,880 SC?
2. Should historical R&D work receive the same rates as current validation work?
3. Is the vesting schedule fair to both founder and future contributors?

**For Market (Tranche 3)**:
1. Did the historical research foundation enable a successful market launch?
2. Should the final tranche be automatic or require additional validation?

### Current Status

- **Tranche 1**: ⏳ AWAITING TEAM CAPTAIN RECRUITMENT
- **Tranche 2**: ❓ PENDING COMMUNITY GROWTH  
- **Tranche 3**: 🔮 PENDING MARKET VALIDATION
