### 5.3 Be honest: v1 is an *authored* book, not yet a *crowd* book
The prior draft's "contributor economy" pays co-authors **15% affiliate commission** — which
is a reward for *referring backers*, not for *writing workflows*. Writing a workflow currently
earns a byline and nothing else. The mechanic that would actually pay contributors — royalties
— is unresolved (see [D-2](#10-open-decisions)).
The prior draft's "contributor economy" pays co-authors **15% affiliate commission**, which
is a reward for *referring backers*, not for *writing workflows*.
So for v1, we state plainly: **the first edition is written by a founding set of co-authors and
the team.** Open community contribution — with a real incentive attached — is the very next
thing we build, and its incentive design ([D-2](#10-open-decisions)) is a **launch-blocking
decision, not a nice-to-have**, because the entire "living book" thesis depends on it.
**Signed 2026-08-31 (D-2):** founding writers are paid **on contract**. v1 is an authored book.
Affiliate referral can still pay for referring backers. It is not how writing is paid. Open
contribution with royalties or bounties waits for Layer 2.
So we state plainly: **the first edition is written by a founding set of co-authors and the

4. **Told the truth about incentives** (§5.3): v1 is an authored book; the "contributor
economy" is currently a referral scheme; paid contribution (D-2) is now launch-blocking.

4. **Told the truth about incentives** (§5.3). **D-2 signed 2026-08-31:** founding writers on

6. **Split the validation bar from the funding floor** (§8) so a funded-but-dead outcome can't

7. **Reframed the pitch as utility-first** (§4, §9 hook test) — the buyer wants a workflow, not
