How this platform funds itself without selling out
This page explains the revenue logic behind 200 Brady Street. Every stream is public interest aligned, structurally constrained, and governance bound, with no monetization of identity, no enforcement clients, and no hidden incentives.
REVENUE WITHOUT EXPLOITATION
Sustainable by structure, not surveillance
200 Brady Street is designed to sustain itself, without selling identity, licensing enforcement, or monetizing attention. Revenue is structured, public interest aligned, and embedded into the platform’s architecture from the start. Nothing is bolted on. Nothing compromises trust.

Clarifying Footnotes
Legal Recovery Commission Logic:
When legally permitted and user aligned, the platform may receive a percentage of successful legal recoveries or dispute wins that its tooling and data architecture directly enabled. No upfront charges. No individual pursuit. Justice aligned only.
City Licensing Logic:
Cities may license the bylaw publishing frontend only, post Milestone 4. This does not include backend access, contributor data, or any enforcement functionality. It’s civic access, not city power.
