Commercial mission
Lower the delivered price of local AI systems.
The Pleroma Works Compute Deflation Initiative combines a published founding price rule with evidence-disciplined market measurement and a sustainable distribution business.
Scale is not complete until customers participate in its gains.
The initiative does not optimize every machine for the maximum possible standalone margin.
It seeks profitable growth, installed-base growth, compute deflation, and durable research and software capacity together. Product quality, warranty, service, inventory, supply security, and reinvestment remain hard constraints.
Founding Dividend progression
Launch viability is conditional. Founding progression is governed.
Each materially new product family is admitted only after its supplier, fulfillment, quality, warranty, and financial economics are judged capable of supporting the program. Once admitted, its first 5,000 units follow the schedule below.
Foundation
01Units 1–1,000
10% minimum
Expansion
02Units 1,001–2,500
12.5% minimum
Stabilization
03Units 2,501–5,000
15% minimum
Equilibrium
04Units 5,001+
Market-set
No product family has been admitted, so no founding stage is active yet.
After unit 5,000, the predetermined schedule ends and the Dividend becomes an equilibrium output of current market and operating economics. Supplier and operating improvements realized during the founding schedule may be retained to capitalize the company and strengthen launch execution.
The hypothesis we intend to test
Lower relative price
Publish the governed customer price and its reference.
Greater adoption?
Observe whether more customers choose local ownership.
Greater scale?
Measure realized volume and purchasing leverage.
Lower structural cost?
Test whether delivery becomes sustainably cheaper.
More customer value?
Measure capability per dollar on comparable cohorts.
These causal links are open questions. Through unit 5,000, Dividend progression follows the founding schedule; it does not depend on claiming that the hypothesis has already been proven.
The joint test is explicit: revenue must grow while dollars per comparable unit of capability fall. From unit 5,001 onward, measured market and operating economics determine equilibrium.
