Economic mechanism

The difference belongs to the customer.

The Capability Dividend is the verified gap between what equivalent capability costs in the market and what a customer pays Pleroma Works.

One customer view. One governed record.

The card stays the same from pre-launch through equilibrium. Its values do not come from page copy: the homepage, product page, and evidence ledger all reference the same governed product-family record.

Founding Dividend progression

Every new product earns its way through four stages.

The first three stages set the minimum market-relative customer share Pleroma must deliver. After 5,000 units, the fixed schedule ends and realized market economics determine the Dividend.

  1. Foundation

    01

    Units 1–1,000

    10% minimum

  2. Expansion

    02

    Units 1,001–2,500

    12.5% minimum

  3. Stabilization

    03

    Units 2,501–5,000

    15% minimum

  4. Equilibrium

    04

    Units 5,001+

    Market-set

No product family has been admitted, so no founding stage is active yet.

Conditional admission. A product enters the initiative only after supplier, fulfillment, quality, warranty, compliance, and financial economics are judged capable of supporting the complete founding schedule.

Governed customer share. Once admitted, Pleroma will not price the founding product above the Active Qualified Competitive Floor less its applicable Founding Dividend.

Illustrative example — not a current offer

What the founding customer share can look like.

If a qualified market benchmark were $4,699 and the applicable Founding Dividend were 10%, the resulting illustrative Pleroma price would be approximately $4,229 before applicable tax.

Hypothetical market benchmark

$4,699

Illustrative Pleroma price

≈ $4,229

This is an arithmetic illustration only. It is not an Active QCF, current benchmark, Pleroma offer, advertised price, savings claim, preorder, or promise of availability. The $4,699 input is hypothetical here and does not activate the separately observed manufacturer reference shown above.

Where the Dividend comes from

Lower cost and deliberately shared economics.

The source mix is measured, not assumed. This diagram is conceptual and not to scale.

Structural

Pleroma actually lowered the cost of getting the machine to the customer.

Shared

Pleroma deliberately gave customers economics it could otherwise have retained.

Equilibrium begins after the founding schedule.

From unit 5,001 onward, the predetermined progression ends. The applicable Dividend is governed by current competitive prices, demand, structural efficiency, supplier scale, ecosystem contribution, and the continued ability to fund quality, service, R&D, inventory, and supply security.
