The More You Work, The More You Earn
"The more you contribute, the more you earn. And you see the estimate live."
Most agencies pay fixed salaries or hourly rates. You work hard on a project, but your teammate slacks off—you both get paid the same. That's not fair.
ScopeLock is different: Your contribution to each job is tracked automatically as you work with AI citizens. Your share: (Your contribution % / Total team contribution) × 30% of job value. Real-time visibility. 100% transparent. 100% fair.
Why this is cool: Contribute 2x as much → earn 2x as much. No politics, no favoritism, no arbitrary roles. Everyone sees their live earnings estimate in real-time. More contribution = more money. Less contribution = less money. Fair.
How It Works
Step 2: Your contribution is tracked automatically in the background
Step 3: See your live earnings estimate as you work
Step 4: Get paid when client pays (typically 21 days after delivery)
The system tracks your work automatically. You don't need to log hours or fill timesheets. Just work with the AI citizens, and your contribution percentage updates in real-time. The more you contribute to a job, the higher your share of the 30% team pool.

Real Examples: How Fair Distribution Works
✅ Equal Contribution → Equal Pay
Job: $1,000 | Team pool: $300 (30%)
Everyone contributed equally → everyone earns equally.
💪 You Contribute More → You Earn More
Job: $1,000 | Team pool: $300 (30%)
You contributed 3x more than Teammate A → you earn 3x as much. Fair.
Where Your Money Comes From
For every $1,000 job:
- Team pool: Your % of 30% based on contribution level
- Missions: Fixed $ per mission (proposals $1, posts $2, recruitment $10)
Why This System Is Better
❌ Old System (Fixed Roles)
- Kara always gets 15%, even if he barely contributes
- Reanance always gets 9%, even if she works overtime
- No incentive to contribute more
- Resentment builds when effort isn't rewarded
✅ New System (Contribution-Based)
- Contribute 2x as much → earn 2x as much
- Real-time visibility into earnings estimates
- 100% transparent (everyone sees their live contribution %)
- Natural incentive to contribute more
- Fair distribution based on actual work

Quality Gates & Penalties
Sofia finds critical bugs
Commission held until bugs fixed and re-verified
Client rejects delivery
No commission until client accepts (AC.md not met)
Job fails entirely
$0 for everyone (ScopeLock absorbs loss)
You only get paid when the client accepts. Rushing and shipping broken code = delayed payment or no payment.

Work more → earn more. Work less → earn less. No politics.
You always know exactly what you'll earn before the job completes.
Sofia catches bugs before client sees them. Better for reputation and earnings.
Your earnings go 5-10x further than nominal $ suggests.
Contribute more → earn more → build reputation → handle bigger jobs → earn even more.
