Platform growth scenario
Base · Platform grows from $1M/mo to $50M/mo over 36 months. Pool earnings scale with this curve.
Note: pool projections assume you maintain your starting rank as the platform grows. Competition grows alongside platform volume — actual rank may drift.
ContentPay (optional)
ContentPay fires when someone buys credits through one of your share links. Off by default — only flip on if you actively share Studio content.
Pool earnings
CompetePay + CreditPay (Hold + Use) split a fixed share of platform revenue across the top-5 of each weekly leaderboard. Off by default because pool position is contested — your pack puts you in the running, but other members may displace you any given week. Toggle on to see best-case ceiling at your suggested rank.
Suggested pool rank: #3 (in top-5 — pool earnings possible)
pack + projected activity put you in the top tier · relevance score $257,978
Projected rank over time (platform grows 50×): m1: #3 · m12: #6 · m24: #11 · m36: #21
Same pack → rank erodes as more members hold credits. Pool earnings concentrate in early months.

How the math works — and where it's approximate.
ConnectPay (20%): exact — 20% of every direct's purchase flows to you.
CrowdPay: the engine pays each tier slot to whoever holds the buyer in their code population. This calc credits you full slot rate on direct purchases (you're always the lowest holder of your own directs) and a 50% share on Crowd purchases — Crowd members who advance to your tier displace you from those slots.
Tier progression: shown as a single aggregate counter. Real engine progresses per-code (each tier code has its own balance fed by broadcast). For steady streams of small/medium purchases the two match closely. For rare large purchases ($25K+) the engine's buyer-chunks cascade can rank you up faster; for highly-fragmented spend across many tiny purchases the engine progresses slower. Treat the rank trajectory here as illustrative, not engine-canonical.
Pool earnings (CompetePay 20% + CreditPay Hold 15% + CreditPay Use 1%): default to $0. Pool position is contested weekly — your pack puts you in the running, but other members can displace you. When toggled on, the calc applies two realism factors: (1) a 50% competition factor on weekly capture, and (2) rank erosion over time — as the platform grows 50× in base scenario, the SAME pack drops down the leaderboard because newer members hold more credits. Pool earnings concentrate in early months, not steady-state across 36 months.
ContentPay (4%): default to $0 — only paid when a real share-link conversion fires. Toggle on with explicit conversions/mo to model your content practice.
Commission cap (65%): the engine caps total commissions per transaction. Every number here is already scaled to match (current scale: 100.0%).
Hypothetical projection — not a guarantee. Most members earn modest amounts or nothing. Your actual earnings depend on: your real position on each weekly leaderboard, which Crowd members actually hold each tier-slot for buyers in your chain, whether your content drives real share-link conversions, and rate changes the platform may make over time. ContentPay and pool earnings (CompetePay, CreditPay Hold + Use) default to $0 here — flip them on above if you have a realistic basis to model them. CrowdPay on Crowd purchases uses a 50% realism factor — Crowd members who advance to your tier displace you from those slots.Engine enforces a 65% total-commission cap per transaction; this calc applies the same cap (scale factor 100.0% at current rates).
Income Disclosure (FTC-style)
Median, percentile, and zero-earner statistics will be published here once at least 100 members have accumulated 90 days of activity. Until then, treat the projection above as a model — most participants in any compensation plan earn modest amounts or nothing. SHIFT does not guarantee any specific level of income. (Current population: 67 members — too small for meaningful percentile statistics.)
