Verified value × approved rate. Paid 20% cash, 80% Owner's Units.
Every reward inside the Owner's Circle follows one formula. It is written into your reward agreement before work begins, verified independently after the work lands, and issued in a fixed split so long-term alignment and short-term recognition both hold.
Before work starts, the Chief of Staff proposes an approved rate (in basis points) for the project. You accept the terms. Nothing about the split, vesting, or verification is negotiated after the fact.
After delivery, a Financial Reviewer records a verified value using a documented method. Reviewers cannot verify their own work. This number is the only input into the reward calc.
Founder or Chief of Staff approves issuance. The cash reward row and the Owner's Units grant are created together, keyed so double-issuance is impossible.
The 80% granted as Units vests over time per your grant's schedule. Vested units are what you can redeem in an open redemption window.
Why 20 / 80
The 20% cash portion is recognition — it lands soon after issuance so contributors feel the reward. The 80% Units portion is ownership — it vests over time and its estimated value moves with Home Alliance. The split is fixed program-wide, not negotiated per project, so nobody has to fight for terms.
