How the money works: two ledgers, and who's paid from what.
Tim guides you here
Ledger A · Your Book
IDS, LiveSmart, Kobler — clients you closed. Yours alone. Funds you + the business. Never enters partner economics.
IDS crew rate for Gabe/Pavan helping: $100/day · $50/half (paid field training).
Ledger B · The Engine
Tim × Gabe × Pavan. Starts at $0. Income = fresh clients + the show only. Gabe's engine pay comes from fresh build fees, Net 15. Proof-of-life = first fresh Brown close.
The series = your capped investment
~$467/mo (7 episodes @ $200), cap $500 — within cap. One fresh Brown close pays it back 1.4×.
