1. Executive Introduction
Selected source-supported operating metrics drawn from the reviewed Armilla materials.
APX proposes a focused two-pillar mandate for Armilla Tech Ltd. built around one immediate commercial objective and one enabling objective. The immediate objective is to run a disciplined capital-raising process around the Company's current USD 4.5 million financing effort. The enabling objective is to strengthen the strategic and marketing operating system that must support that raise, convert current visibility into institutional demand, and give investors confidence that the Company can scale with discipline.
The reviewed materials describe a business with real commercial substance. The file set reflects an encrypted coach-to-player communication platform, management-described traction across more than 150 teams, visible state-association relationships, event-level market presence, and a roadmap from hardware sales toward a broader software and analytics layer. The current folder now also contains patent grant paperwork titled US Patent eGRANT 12342248.pdf, which materially improves how the Company's intellectual-property position can be documented inside the financing package.
At the same time, the raise will be judged on more than product novelty. Investors will focus on proof of demand, repeatability of the sales process, manufacturing-readiness narrative, gross-margin logic, institutional channel development, and management's ability to translate favorable market timing into credible execution. That is where APX's scope sits. The work is designed to make Armilla easier to finance, easier to understand, and easier to scale.
This proposal is therefore an execution mandate, not a generic advisory retainer. It is designed to help Armilla raise capital on stronger footing and build the market-facing structure required to support that capital.
1.1 What APX Is Committing
- (a) Fundraising and Capital Formation: Full-scope capital strategy, investor materials development, data-room construction, investor targeting and outreach, meeting preparation, term support, and closing coordination for the Company's current financing process.
- (b) Strategy and Marketing Builder Services: Commercial positioning, brand narrative discipline, channel strategy, sales-enablement architecture, executive communications, and KPI-driven market-building support tied directly to fundraising and growth execution.
- (c) Adi Cohen Advisory Board Appointment: Senior support on capital-formation strategy, investor and strategic introductions where appropriate, positioning, governance perspective, and executive decision support.
- (d) Integrated 8-Month Execution Program: Weekly and monthly operating cadence covering financing readiness, investor process management, strategic build-out, and management reporting.
- (e) Optional Token and Token-Linked Engagement Appendix: Token creation, tokenized client-engagement design, and coin-linked growth services are removed from the base mandate and appear only as optional additional services in Appendix A.
- (f) Documentation and Governance Discipline: A process built for sophisticated counterparties, with cleaner materials, clearer proof support, and stronger execution controls across the mandate.
2. APX Strategic Positioning
APX is proposing an engagement model that combines institutional fundraising work with the strategic and marketing build-out required to make that fundraising work credible. That matters here because Armilla's next stage is not simply a deck exercise. It is a financing process that must be supported by better positioning, cleaner diligence packaging, stronger commercial proof presentation, and a more coherent route-to-market story.
This mandate deliberately keeps token creation outside the core scope. That is not because tokenization is ruled out. It is because Armilla's immediate value-creation path runs through capital formation, message discipline, investor readiness, and commercial architecture. If a future token or tokenized-membership layer becomes strategically useful, APX can activate that work under Appendix A on separate optional terms without confusing the present raise or overloading the base mandate.
That structure preserves focus. Fundraising is treated as the main pillar. Strategy and marketing builder services are attached to it as the second pillar because they improve the Company's ability to raise, sell, and communicate from one coordinated system. The result is a tighter offer, a cleaner operating logic, and a more defensible path into market.
3. APX Understanding of Armilla
This section reflects APX's understanding based on the materials currently in the folder. Where a point originates in management materials or reviewed analyses derived from those materials, it is presented on that basis.
3.1 Current Company Position
The reviewed set describes Armilla Tech Ltd. as a Canadian sports communication technology company built around an encrypted tablet-and-wristband communication system for team sports. The capital objective presently reflected in the materials is a USD 4.5 million equity raise at a stated USD 16 million pre-money valuation, framed around scale-up, go-to-market acceleration, personnel build-out, and continued product development.
What makes the Company commercially interesting is that the product story is concrete. The business is not asking investors to underwrite a category abstraction. It is asking them to underwrite a defined communication platform, a defined institutional buyer problem, and a timing window shaped by sign-security concerns and growing acceptance of electronic communication in organized sport.

Management-Described Teams
Granted U.S. Patent
| Category | Source-Supported Position | Why It Matters Strategically |
|---|---|---|
| Company Position | The reviewed materials describe Armilla Tech Ltd. as a Canadian sports communication technology company built around an encrypted coach-to-player tablet and wristband system for football, baseball, and softball. | The Company is solving a defined communication and sign-security problem in organized team sport, which gives the raise a concrete product story rather than a general sports-tech narrative. |
| Financing Ask | Current materials describe a USD 4.5 million equity raise at a USD 16 million pre-money valuation. | That provides a clear immediate mandate for capital formation, valuation framing, and investor targeting. |
| Commercial Traction | Management materials and reviewed analyses describe traction across more than 150 teams, state-association relationships, and showcase-event visibility. | That creates a credible commercial foundation, but it must be presented with discipline and supported by a stronger investor-ready materials set. |
| Intellectual Property | The current folder now includes patent grant paperwork titled US Patent eGRANT 12342248.pdf. | The IP section can now be handled as a documented asset in the financing package rather than as an unresolved diligence question inside the file set. |
| Growth Model | The reviewed materials describe a hardware-led revenue base with a longer-term analytics and software expansion path. | That supports a broader valuation narrative if the capital story is tied to execution milestones rather than abstract upside. |
3.2 Commercial Footprint and Market Signal
The reviewed set reflects a Company that already has more market signal than many early-stage hardware businesses at a similar financing stage. Diligence materials reference visible state-association relationships, showcase-event exposure, and management-described adoption across teams in football, baseball, and softball. Those signals do not remove execution risk. They do, however, give APX something concrete to build into the investor narrative.
The commercial opportunity is strengthened by timing. The same materials repeatedly tie demand to rule changes, institutional acceptance of electronic communication tools, and heightened sensitivity to sign stealing and sideline communication risk. That creates a real opening. It also means the Company's story has to be presented as execution-ready rather than merely well-timed.
3.3 Operating Strength and Present Constraint
The current constraint does not appear to be whether Armilla has a product or whether the market understands the problem. The current constraint is whether the Company can present itself as a disciplined capital recipient with a coherent financing narrative, stronger materials, better process control, and a route-to-market architecture that feels institutional rather than opportunistic.
That is why the second pillar matters. Fundraising alone is not enough if the Company cannot translate current visibility into a cleaner commercial engine. APX would treat the raise and the market-building work as linked tasks. The investor narrative must support the operating plan, and the operating plan must make the investor narrative believable.
3.4 Intellectual Property and Diligence Position
The current file set now includes patent grant paperwork titled US Patent eGRANT 12342248.pdf. APX therefore treats patent grant documentation as part of the reviewed materials set and would incorporate that documentation directly into the raise package, the data-room index, the intellectual-property narrative, and management's diligence-response framework.
That changes how the Company should speak about defensibility. The IP narrative no longer needs to be framed as a pending documentation gap inside this folder. It can be presented as a documented element of the current package, subject to the usual formatting, filing, and investor-Q&A preparation work.
3.5 Strategic Fit with APX
The strategic fit with APX is compelling across four dimensions:
- (a) Capital Formation Discipline: Armilla needs a structured financing process, stronger materials, and a cleaner data-room and diligence environment around the current raise.
- (b) Regulatory and Market-Timing Capture: The Company's story sits inside a live market window that should be translated into an investor and channel strategy before timing advantages dissipate.
- (c) Commercial Architecture Build-Out: Association visibility, showcase presence, and product credibility should be converted into a more repeatable route-to-market system.
- (d) Strategic Optionality Preservation: Optional token-related services can remain available later without distracting the immediate financing process or forcing a broader mandate than the Company needs now.

4. Opportunity Overview
APX views the Armilla opportunity as the convergence of product validity, institutional relevance, and market timing. The Company already appears to have enough substance to justify a credible financing process. The question is whether that substance can be translated into capital-market discipline and a more coherent commercial engine.
This is where APX's offer goes beyond investor introductions. Armilla does not only need money. It needs a clearer basis on which sophisticated investors can believe the next stage of the business. That means better framing of the raise, better integration of proof points, better management preparation, and a stronger market-building system around the product itself.
| Market Signal | Current Reading | Strategic Implication |
|---|---|---|
| State Association Relationships | Reviewed diligence materials reference preferred-vendor or partnership visibility with GHSA, CHSAA, and NYSPHSAA. | Those relationships help prove institutional relevance and give the Company a more credible channel narrative than a pure direct-sales story. |
| Regulatory Momentum | The reviewed set consistently ties demand to rule changes and rising sensitivity to sign-stealing and electronic communication standards. | This is a timing advantage, but only if the Company presents itself as the disciplined operator ready to capture that demand window. |
| Product Positioning | Armilla's materials emphasize encrypted, dedicated RF communication that does not depend on stadium Wi-Fi or consumer cellular coverage. | That gives APX a differentiated product story to use in both investor communications and go-to-market positioning. |
| Patent Documentation | The patent grant paperwork is now part of the current file set. | That strengthens the IP narrative and improves how the Company can answer diligence questions on product defensibility. |
| Capital Use Case | The raise is tied to manufacturing scale-up, personnel expansion, go-to-market build-out, and continued software development. | That gives APX a clear capital allocation story to translate into investor materials and process management. |
4.1 Market Timing and Regulatory Pull
The materials in the folder consistently frame market demand around communication security, sign-stealing sensitivity, and broader acceptance of electronic communication in organized sport. That gives the Company a timely category story. APX's role would be to convert that into a sharper investor and buyer thesis rather than allowing the timing narrative to remain broad and under-structured.
4.2 Product Positioning and Patent-Supported Narrative
Armilla's positioning is most persuasive when it remains anchored to reliability, encryption, operational simplicity, and institutional use cases. The presence of patent grant paperwork in the current file set allows APX to tighten the product-defensibility story and make the IP discussion cleaner, more confident, and better documented during financing outreach.
4.3 Investor Story and Capital Use Case
The raise should be presented as a scale-enabling financing event tied to manufacturing readiness, commercial expansion, software and analytics build-out, and management capacity. APX would treat use-of-proceeds discipline as a central part of the investor story, because serious counterparties will want to see not only ambition but also a credible path from capital deployment to measurable outcomes.
5. Proposed Scope of Services
The scope is organized into two coordinated pillars. Fundraising is the primary pillar. Strategy and marketing builder services form the attached second pillar because they improve the quality, credibility, and conversion efficiency of the fundraising process itself. Token-related work is removed from the base mandate and appears only as an optional appendix.
5.1 Fundraising Activity
APX would lead the financing workstream as a structured capital-formation process rather than a series of ad hoc introductions. The immediate task is to translate Armilla's product validity, market timing, current documentation set, and management-described traction into a financing narrative that can withstand serious investor scrutiny.
| Fundraising Workstream | APX Execution Scope | Business Function | Intended Strategic Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital Strategy | Define raise architecture, target investor profiles, round sequencing, valuation framing, and use-of-proceeds positioning for the USD 4.5 million financing process. | Turns the raise from a generic ask into a structured financing thesis. | Improves investor fit and creates a cleaner basis for valuation and diligence discussions. |
| Investor Materials Development | Rebuild or refine the pitch deck, executive summary, diligence FAQ, use-of-proceeds narrative, and management talking points. | Creates an investor-grade materials suite. | Lets Armilla present as a disciplined operating company rather than a founder-led hardware story alone. |
| Data Room and Diligence Architecture | Organize the data room, index the patent and IP materials, structure core diligence requests, and tighten factual consistency across the package. | Reduces preventable diligence friction. | Shortens the path from first meeting to serious counterparty work. |
| Investor Positioning | Tailor the Armilla story for sports-tech capital, strategic investors, family offices, specialist venture capital, and selected operating partners. | Matches the Company to the right capital audience. | Raises the odds that meetings are with investors who understand the product, buyer, and timing window. |
| Outreach and Process Management | Build the investor long list, sequencing plan, meeting cadence, pipeline tracker, and follow-up discipline across the full process. | Creates a repeatable financing engine rather than one-off outreach. | Protects momentum and gives management a cleaner operating rhythm during the raise. |
| Management Preparation | Prepare management for objections, investor Q&A, diligence pressure points, and live presentation discipline. | Improves meeting quality and credibility. | Reduces avoidable narrative drift and protects the value story under scrutiny. |
| Term Sheet and Closing Support | Support term-sheet analysis, counterparty coordination, diligence responses, and path-to-close discipline with counsel and finance stakeholders. | Keeps live process work moving once interest becomes transaction work. | Improves closing efficiency and reduces execution risk. |
| Investor Relations Framework | Establish reporting logic, post-meeting follow-up discipline, and a cleaner basis for future investor communications. | Extends value beyond the first raise cycle. | Leaves the Company in stronger condition for future capital activity and board-style communications. |
For Armilla specifically, APX would shape the fundraising story around the facts most likely to matter in diligence. Those include the present financing target, the institutional relevance of the product, the market-timing case, the documented patent package now in the file set, the Company's visible traction signals, and the need to present a more disciplined route-to-market and execution plan.
Capital strategy. APX's fundraising service begins with raise architecture, not with a slide deck. The work starts by defining which investor categories should be prioritized, how the valuation and use-of-proceeds story should be presented, what proof must lead the story, and how the process should be sequenced so that management time is spent on the highest-value conversations.
Fundraising preparation and diligence readiness. APX would organize the financing package behind the narrative. That includes data-room structure, the IP and patent support package, diligence FAQ logic, management Q&A preparation, and tighter consistency across all outward-facing materials. The point is to give Armilla a serious process environment before broad circulation begins.
Investor positioning and close support. APX would tailor the Company story for the relevant investor audiences, run the process discipline around meetings and follow-up, and remain active once counterparties move into live diligence and term work. The aim is a cleaner path from first contact to closing rather than a noisy process with weak conversion.
5.2 Strategy and Marketing Builder Services
The strategy and marketing builder pillar exists to make the capital story true in practice. A stronger raise requires a stronger operating narrative, better commercial proof packaging, cleaner market-facing communication, and a more repeatable route-to-market structure. This pillar is therefore attached directly to the fundraising workstream rather than treated as a separate creative exercise.
| Strategy Builder Workstream | APX Execution Scope | Business Function | Intended Strategic Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand and Narrative Operating System | Refine how Armilla speaks about product reliability, encrypted communication, rule-change timing, association traction, and IP support across every external audience. | Eliminates message fragmentation. | Improves conversion quality with investors, coaches, athletic directors, and strategic partners. |
| Commercial Positioning by Sport and Buyer | Map the value proposition separately for football, baseball, softball, scholastic programs, collegiate programs, and showcase-event environments. | Aligns the story to the actual buyer and usage context. | Makes the commercial case more precise and easier to sell. |
| Association and Channel Strategy | Build a structured channel plan around association relationships, showcase credibility, regional sales priorities, and target-state sequencing. | Turns visibility into a repeatable route-to-market structure. | Improves commercial focus and reduces opportunistic outreach. |
| Sales Enablement and Proof Package | Develop case-study logic, proof-point packaging, objection handling, and short-form materials for coaches, administrators, and strategic counterparties. | Strengthens conversion support for the field. | Improves close rates and gives the Company more consistent commercial presentation. |
| Digital Infrastructure and Reporting | Review CRM logic, outreach tracking, KPI dashboards, attribution discipline, and internal reporting needed to support the raise and market build-out. | Creates the management system behind the story. | Improves decision-making and makes growth claims easier to support. |
| Executive Visibility and Communications | Support founder and leadership positioning, public-facing narrative discipline, strategic communications, and market-facing credibility building. | Controls how the market hears the story. | Raises trust and sharpens the Company's external posture during the raise window. |
| Event and Partner Activation Strategy | Prioritize conventions, showcase events, partner opportunities, and proof-of-performance moments that can support both sales and fundraising. | Converts activity into a deliberate growth calendar. | Improves the commercial return on demonstrations, partnerships, and public-facing exposure. |
| KPI and Operating Cadence | Establish weekly and monthly rhythm around capital formation, commercial priorities, proof-point development, and management accountability. | Creates execution discipline. | Makes the mandate measurable and keeps the Company aligned across fundraising and market-building workstreams. |
For Armilla specifically, APX would focus on turning current visibility into repeatable commercial leverage. Association relationships, event presence, management credibility, and technical differentiation need to be translated into buyer-specific messaging, stronger proof packaging, and a disciplined path for regional and institutional expansion.
Brand and narrative operating system. APX would build a message architecture that works across investors, coaches, athletic directors, and strategic partners. The goal is not more language. The goal is one consistent way of explaining what Armilla does, why it matters, why the timing window is real, and why the Company is positioned to capture it.
Commercial planning and market build-out. APX would map the product story to specific sports, buyer groups, and channel opportunities, then back that up with case-study logic, proof materials, event activation priorities, and regional sequencing. That makes the Company's commercial effort easier to manage and easier to believe.
Operating cadence and reporting discipline. APX would support the internal system that keeps the mandate moving, including reporting rhythm, KPI tracking, and management alignment across fundraising, sales support, communications, and channel-development priorities.
6. Execution Framework
APX proposes a staged execution model that lets Armilla move quickly without collapsing planning, governance, and market execution into a single step. Each phase is built to produce concrete outputs, decision points, and measurable progress over an 8-month base term.
6.1 Governance and Reporting Cadence
APX would operate the mandate on a formal cadence. That would include weekly operating calls, biweekly workstream reviews, monthly executive reporting, and transaction-focused working sessions during live financing periods. Each workstream would have accountable owners, active items, deliverables in progress, and agreed next actions.
APX would also recommend a dashboard structure covering fundraising progress, investor responses, diligence readiness, market-building priorities, proof-point development, and the commercial metrics most relevant to the raise. The point is not reporting for its own sake. The point is to create a management system that supports the raise and the market build-out at the same time.
6.2 Opening Gating Items
Before broad investor distribution begins, APX would recommend tightening a defined set of opening items. Those include cap-table and entity reconciliation, financial-pack organization, a clean investor-ready materials set, incorporation of the current patent documentation into the data room, and confirmation of the internal decision workflow for approvals and management availability. These are not reasons to delay the mandate. They are the right starting point for a serious process.
6.3 Core Deliverables Matrix
| Deliverable Area | Primary Output | Business Function | Strategic Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raise Strategy | Raise architecture memo, investor segmentation map, valuation-positioning note, and use-of-proceeds framework. | Provides the strategic basis for the financing process. | Ensures the raise is run with a defined thesis rather than improvised outreach. |
| Investor Materials | Rebuilt pitch deck, executive summary, diligence FAQ, and management Q&A package. | Creates the core market-facing package for capital raising. | Raises presentation quality and lowers avoidable investor objections. |
| Diligence Package | Data-room index, IP and patent-pack integration, corporate and financial support package, and requested-document tracker. | Turns the reviewed materials into a usable diligence environment. | Improves seriousness and shortens response time during live diligence. |
| Investor Process | Long list, sequencing logic, outreach tracker, meeting calendar, and follow-up system. | Operationalizes the fundraising process. | Improves pipeline discipline and keeps live process work visible. |
| Management Readiness | Presentation preparation, objection handling, diligence response framework, and meeting support. | Improves live execution quality. | Raises management credibility under institutional scrutiny. |
| Market Positioning | Refined category narrative, sport-specific buyer positioning, and competitor-aware message architecture. | Strengthens the commercial story across investor and customer audiences. | Improves clarity and makes the Company easier to understand and support. |
| Channel Build-Out | Association strategy, regional priority map, partner-development logic, and event-activation calendar. | Builds a repeatable route-to-market structure. | Moves the business toward a cleaner commercial engine. |
| Sales Proof Suite | Case-study library, proof-point pack, short-form commercial materials, and objection-response support for the field. | Improves sales readiness. | Helps convert visibility and credibility into revenue-generating conversations. |

Detailed Phase Deliverables
7. Strategic Rationale
This engagement is built on a simple premise. Armilla appears to have already crossed the threshold that matters most for an early-stage operating company: it has a defined product, a defined buyer problem, visible commercial proof points, and a financing objective tied to scale rather than concept formation. The next stage is harder in a different way. It requires structure, process quality, and a more disciplined commercial and capital-markets posture.
The next stage is harder in a different way. It requires structure, process quality, and a more disciplined commercial and capital-markets posture.
The strategic rationale rests on four compounding advantages that APX believes can be strengthened materially through this mandate.
- (a) Product and Market Specificity: Armilla is easier to finance than a concept-stage business because the Company can already point to a defined product architecture and a defined institutional problem it solves.
- (b) Timing Window: The reviewed materials position the Company inside a live rule-change and market-acceptance window that rewards faster, cleaner execution.
- (c) Documented IP Support: The presence of patent grant paperwork in the current folder improves how defensibility can be discussed and documented during the raise.
- (d) Need for Commercial Discipline: The Company's next level of value will come from better conversion of visibility into repeatable sales and better conversion of traction into investor confidence.
APX's integrated model is suited to that stage because the business does not need isolated service providers working from different assumptions. It needs one mandate that can carry the financing process and the market-building system from a common logic.
8. Value Creation Case
APX expects value creation from this mandate to come from five areas, each of which compounds the others.
- Higher-quality financing process. Armilla should be able to present as a more disciplined, capital-ready operating company with cleaner materials, tighter diligence support, and better investor targeting.
- Stronger intellectual-property presentation. The current patent paperwork can be integrated into the raise package in a way that improves defensibility and reduces confusion during diligence.
- Better commercial architecture. Association visibility, event presence, and product credibility should be converted into a more repeatable route-to-market structure and sales-enablement system.
- Improved management operating discipline. The Company should leave the mandate with stronger reporting cadence, clearer KPIs, and a more institutional communications posture.
- Improved strategic optionality. Whether the outcome is a successful close, a follow-on process, broader channel expansion, or a later optional token workstream, the business should be better prepared and better structured.
These benefits are not abstract. They map directly to the current state reflected in the folder. The financing goal is real. The market window appears real. The product and IP narrative can be better documented than before. What is required now is a more disciplined way to present the Company and run the process.

9. Commercial Scope and Engagement Logic
APX proposes a commercial structure with two integrated layers. The first layer is the base 8-month mandate covering fundraising activity and strategy and marketing builder services. The second layer exists only if the Company later elects to activate Appendix A, which covers token-related optional services on separate terms. That separation matters because Armilla's immediate financing needs should not be diluted by optional workstreams that may or may not become relevant later.

11. Closing Positioning Statement
APX views Armilla as a business with enough real substance to justify a serious financing process. The materials currently in the folder describe a product with a defined use case, a market window with real timing relevance, a documented financing objective, and a growing basis on which the Company can speak more credibly about intellectual property and institutional positioning.
This offer is built for that stage. It is designed to help Armilla raise capital on stronger footing and build the commercial and communications structure required to support that capital. The work is execution-heavy by intention. The mandate is meant to function as a real partner framework, not as a thin advisory overlay.
If the Company proceeds, APX would recommend beginning with a short kickoff period focused on raise architecture, investor-material rebuild, data-room structure, patent and IP package integration, and management alignment around the first financing wave. That opening phase will set the pace for the broader mandate.
12. Next Actions
- Confirm whether APX should finalize this proposal into definitive engagement documentation with an 8-month term, monthly USD 20,000 retainer, and 7.5% success fee structure.
- Open a ten-business-day kickoff focused on raise architecture, investor material rebuild, data-room organization, and integration of the current patent documentation into the financing package.
- Identify the Armilla internal decision group for weekly execution cadence, materials approvals, investor process coordination, and commercial-priority decisions.
- Leave Appendix A dormant unless and until the Company elects to activate optional token-related services in a separate written instruction.

A.1 Optional Service Scope
| Optional Service | Detail |
|---|---|
| Token Strategy and Venture Design | If elected, APX can design a token or tokenized-membership thesis, utility architecture, governance framework, rollout sequencing, and commercial purpose for an Armilla-linked digital ecosystem. |
| Tokenized Client and Community Engagement | If elected, APX can design client acquisition, community participation, ambassador logic, and token-linked engagement mechanics associated with any future coin or tokenized-membership layer. |
| Optional APXCoin Support | If separately approved, APX can structure a controlled APXCoin activation reserve for campaigns, rewards, partner activation, and ecosystem growth tied to the token workstream. |
| Activation Condition | No token-related work, economics, or treasury commitment becomes active unless Appendix A is affirmatively elected in writing by both parties. |
A.2 Optional Token Venture Economics
If Appendix A is activated, the optional token-venture economics below would apply separately from the base retainer. These economics are restricted to the token venture only and do not apply to Armilla's ordinary hardware revenue, software revenue, general corporate financing proceeds, or any standard operating revenue outside the token venture.
| Component | Indicative Position |
|---|---|
| Token Activation Fee | USD 100,000, made up of USD 60,000 cash plus USD 40,000 equivalent in created tokens |
| Core Build Fee | USD 850,000 equivalent, payable 10% cash and 90% in created tokens, with indicative milestone billing of 40% at kickoff, 30% at test environment, and 30% at production readiness |
| APX Treasury Contribution | Up to 5,000,000 APXCOIN as APX-funded strategic reserve for activation, rewards, and ecosystem support if the optional token workstream is activated |
| APX Token Allocation | 10% of total token-venture supply, subject to a 12-month cliff and 36-month linear vesting in definitive documents |
| Primary Revenue Share | 20% of gross receipts from token-venture primary sales, tokenized memberships, or authorized launch drops |
| Secondary Royalties Share | 10% of gross royalties or comparable recurring marketplace receipts |
| Token-Linked Commerce Share | 7.5% of net commerce revenue from token-gated or token-triggered experiences |
A.3 Optional APXCoin Activation Framework
If the optional token workstream is activated and separately approved, APX may allocate up to USD 3,000,000 equivalent in APXCOIN from its treasury as a controlled activation reserve tied to ecosystem growth, customer acquisition, and token-linked engagement mechanics. This is not part of the base retainer and would remain dormant unless separately activated.
| Purpose | Detail |
|---|---|
| Marketing Campaign Funding | Digital advertising, content promotion, and brand-awareness initiatives where token-based incentives add value. |
| Customer Acquisition Incentives | Rewards for onboarding, referral completions, membership activation, and verified participation behavior. |
| Community Activation | Ambassador programs, user-generated campaigns, participation missions, and community-growth incentives. |
| Strategic Partnership Development | Incentive structures for key partners, showcase relationships, and selected co-marketing or ecosystem initiatives. |
| Ecosystem Liquidity Support | A controlled reserve to support healthy utility mechanics and reward flows if the optional token ecosystem goes live. |
A.4 Optional Deployment Principles
- Releases remain milestone-controlled and tied to objective activation conditions.
- All deployments remain utility-focused and are not intended to create speculative market behavior.
- Any launch remains subject to legal review, jurisdictional analysis, and platform-policy compliance.
- Allocation decisions and performance outcomes should remain transparent and auditable.
