name: revenue-model description: Business-only revenue guidance for Trash Or Treasure Online Recycler LLC. Use for checkout, pricing, ledger, payment processor, and customer-surface copy decisions. Public product work must stay focused on membership, verification, safety, support, uptime, and platform access.
Revenue Model - Business-Only Forward (2026-06-22)
Canonical Truth
- Single LLC: Trash Or Treasure Online Recycler LLC (FL #L25000158401)
- Business money goes through normal merchant, bank, ledger, and bookkeeping workflows.
- Public/customer work sells product value only.
- Owner accounting decisions are private business operations and are not AI launch gates.
- Future legal/control structures are outside live checkout unless Joshua provides a new timestamped directive.
Customer-Facing Rules (Strict)
- Lead with membership, verification, safety, support, uptime, and platform access.
- Do not expose private accounting, owner decisions, legal structures, or control plans in UI, emails, ads, public API, social posts, marketplace listings, or checkout copy.
- Do not block checkout while waiting for future legal/control work.
- If money language is needed, use plain product terms: price, subscription, membership, receipt, refund, support, checkout, and account access.
Implementation Notes
- Square is primary for YouAndINotAI.
- Stripe is legacy unless a non-dating surface explicitly uses it.
- All processors consolidate at the single LLC bank account.
- Reconcile via internal ledger tables and payment processor reports.
When to Use
- Any change to payments, pricing, ledgers, subscriptions, checkout, refunds, or public copy about money.
- Before adding customer-facing money claims beyond product price and receipt facts.
- When designing a new revenue surface that needs business-only product positioning.
