Executive Summary: Rosie's Partnership with the First Person Project

For: FPP Governing Board
Purpose: Strategic alignment and revenue opportunities

Vision: Incentivize members along the trust layer journey, not at the end.

The Challenge

The First Person Network Cooperative (FPNC) faces three critical hurdles:

  1. Initial Capital Gap - All-volunteer effort struggling to secure funding while ideologically opposed to investor-stakeholder profit models
  2. Revenue Generation - Need sustainable income to support operations without external dependence
  3. Competitive Positioning - Limited pricing advantage against hyperscalers in early phases

What is Rosie?

Rosie is an FPP AI Assistant that transforms the First Person Project from a long-game volunteer effort into an immediate business opportunity for members. It makes FPP knowledge instantly accessible, actionable, and monetizable from Day One.

Members upload FPP content, Rosie learns from it, anyone asks questions, Rosie provides precise answers with cited sources, and contributors earn rewards when their content helps others.

The Business Opportunity Starts Today—Not in 4 Years:

  • Build reputation on the members leaderboard as recognized FPP experts
  • Receive business inquiries via secure messaging from people seeking FPP expertise
  • Transform consulting practices from billable hours to scalable licensing revenue
  • Build sustainable associations that generate revenue beyond membership dues

The journey IS the product. Contributors start earning reputation, connections, and business development opportunities immediately—not years from now when FPP is "complete."

Built on Cooperative Principles

Rosie operates on a Contributory Ecosystem Model that naturally aligns with the First Person Network Cooperative's values:

  • Patronage-Based - Economic benefits flow to contributors based on participation, not capital
  • Transparent Economics - All costs and rewards are clearly calculated and visible
  • Member-Centric - Value flows to members who create it, not external investors
  • Self-Sustaining - Contributors earn credits and revenue, reducing external dependency
  • Creator Control - IP creators maintain ownership and set their own licensing terms

This isn't just an AI assistant—it's a cooperative business model that ensures members prosper from the value they create.

The Rosie Ecosystem

Diagram illustrating the Rosie ecosystem for the First Person Project. Central node labeled Rosie AI Assistant connects to three main member roles: All Members, Contributors, and IPR Owners, each with their own capabilities such as consuming content, submitting content, and setting licensing terms. Additional connections show Licensee Organizations and Downstream Organizations, highlighting their rights to access, contribute, and extend frameworks. Arrows indicate progression from Consumer to Contributor to IPR Owner, and from Licensee to Downstream Organization.

Member roles are cumulative: All Contributors are Members, all IPR Owners are Contributors

Organizations & Licensing

🔵 Licensee Organizations (In Process):

  • License IPR-protected frameworks for implementation
  • Pay Rosie Hourly Rate + IPR Owners' hourly rates when querying Rosie

🔵 Downstream Organizations (In Process):

  • License frameworks WITH derivative work rights
  • Extend and redistribute to their members
  • Pay upstream Rosie Rate + FPP Rate + IPR Owners' rates + Earn IPR revenue from downstream
  • Rosie's Innovation: Automatic cascading updates—upstream improvements flow downstream instantly

Example: National Association creates framework → Provincial extends for local regulations → Local implements. Updates cascade automatically. Revenue flows upstream. Everyone stays current.

Value Proposition

For Individual Members Immediate business opportunities, time-credits reduce costs, scalable IPR revenue, build authority as FPP experts
For FPP Cooperative Recurring revenue from Rosie AI usage + IPR licensing fees, self-sustaining funding without external investors, productization opportunities
For Board Members Incentivize sustained contribution, demonstrate cooperative innovation, create defensible competitive advantage, attract mission-aligned funding
Cooperative Protection Business Source License 1.1 ensures source transparency while preventing hyperscaler exploitation—automatically converts to open source after 4 years

Revenue Model

Members Pay: AI Provider Tokens (BYOT) + Rosie Hourly Rate (pay-per-use)

FPP Earns: Revenue share from Rosie hourly rates + Revenue share from IPR licensing fees

Result: FPP generates recurring revenue without managing AI infrastructure, creating a self-sustaining cooperative model.

The Bottom Line

Volunteers need incentives to stay engaged long-term. Help members prosper along the journey, not wait years for FPP to be "complete."
