Three tiers calibrated to three commitment levels. Master Partners alone earn territory exclusivity. The economics work for you on day one — entry costs are typically recovered before the end of Q2.
Solo operators or boutiques (1–5). Non-exclusive. The entry point for established consultants ready to add a category-leading IP to their senior conversations.
Established firms (5–25 consultants). Soft territory preference (we won't actively partner against you in your named market). Partner-led delivery with our QA at gate transitions.
Major regional firms (25+ consultants).
Country-level exclusive rights for 24-month renewable terms. No other partner — at any tier — operates in your territory. Performance gates apply at each renewal.
Master Partners are the only tier that earns territorial protection. The reason matters: territorial exclusivity is genuinely valuable, and we will not dilute it by granting it broadly. A Master Partner who has paid €75K entry, committed €500K of annual minimums, and certified 8+ consultants on the framework has earned the right to be the only Authorized Partner in their territory.
That means: when an enterprise in your territory searches for a MuShuHaRi partner, they find you. When Agile Catalyst receives inbound demand from your country, it routes to you. When Kaizou or DouJou customers in your territory want partner-led implementation, you have first right of refusal. This is the operating leverage that turns a license fee into a territorial monopoly on a category-defining methodology.
Critically: territory exclusivity requires upfront license payment. Our deferred-payment program for new partners does not apply to Tier 3 — exclusivity is earned with cash on signature, full stop.
For qualified Tier 1 and Tier 2 applicants who pass our diligence but want to validate the partnership commercially before paying entry license fees, we offer a Deferred Entry Program: you market and pursue your first opportunity actively as an Authorized Partner; the entry license fee becomes payable upon close of your first qualifying deal. Renewal fees and revenue-share royalties begin from day one — only the entry fee is deferred.
Master Partner exclusivity (Tier 3) requires upfront payment — no deferred option. Exclusivity has cash entry, full stop.
Entry fee due on close of first qualifying engagement (assessment ≥€20K or implementation ≥€100K). Up to 6-month grace from signature.
All revenue share royalties (Streams C–E) and annual renewal accrue from signature, regardless of deferred entry status.
Conservative scenario. Real partner outcomes vary by market, sales motion, and prior pipeline. The point is the shape of the curve.

| Annual renewal | — | (€18,000) | (€18,000) |
| Assessments delivered | +€84,000 | +€168,000 | +€252,000 |

By month 18, the partner is generating ~€100K of monthly attributable revenue from the program. For the right firm, MuShuHaRi / S+3 becomes the primary growth engine — not a side bet.
