Purpose
- Request Steering Committee approval to commence the Year 1 pilot planning and stakeholder consultations during the week of 17 November 2025.
- Operationalize the BGIN “Archive–Codex–Discourse” framework as a secure, collaborative intelligence exchange for the blockchain ecosystem.
- Launch a production-ready pilot at Block 14 (March 2026) to validate multilingual threat synthesis, Codex/TLP governance enforcement, and OSS dependency insight workflows.
- Demonstrate a replicable model for AI-augmented governance that can extend to additional BGIN domains.
Year 1 Pilot (Mar 2026 – Feb 2027)
- Cohort: 8–12 subscribing organizations (Essentials/Professional mix), 3 ISACs, MITRE + two premium data providers; optional regulator/CERT observers.
- Commercial Terms: 20% discount on subscription tiers, pro-rated ISAC licenses, contributor retainers per partner tier; contracts include loyalty credits for Year 2–3 renewals.
- Success Metrics: ≥95% bilingual brief accuracy, ≥20% faster analyst response, ≥75% monthly active seats, zero severity-1 Codex/TLP violations.
- Governance Rhythm: Monthly working groups, quarterly steering reviews, year-end “Go/No-Go & Scale Plan” summit.
- Enablement: Dedicated success lead, sandbox environment, ROI model workshops, localization QA backlog management.
- Scale Path: Pilot graduates transition to full commercial contracts in Year 2 with optional add-ons (dashboards, copilots, automation).
Stakeholder Value & Reciprocity
- BGIN Secretariat / IKP WG: Proof of governance-to-code leadership via Archive–Codex–Discourse in production.
- ISACs: Centralized multilingual briefings, reciprocity metrics, reduced manual coordination.
- Member Organizations: Unified MITRE + ISAC intelligence mapped to blockchain stacks with governance guidance.
- Data Providers (MITRE, labs): Predictable remuneration, usage analytics, and amplified reach to blockchain-focused audiences.
- CERTs / Regulators: Lifecycle visibility, policy-aligned guidance, shared situational awareness.
- OSS Maintainers: SBOM-to-CVE impact mapping enabling prioritized remediation and transparency.
Initial Launch Offering (Pilot Scope)
- Cross-source intelligence briefs (MITRE + priority ISACs) tagged by lifecycle stage.
- Codex-aware Q&A embedding TLP handling and disclosure workflows.
- Bilingual (EN↔JA) role-tailored summaries.
- OSS dependency impact mapping for target blockchain stacks.
Business Model Highlights
- Subscription Tiers: Essentials (USD 1,500/m), Professional (USD 3,000/m), Enterprise (from USD 5,000/m) – pilot discounts apply.
- ISAC Licensing: Small USD 15K/y, Medium USD 30K/y, Large USD 50K+/y (multi-year discounts). Pilot cohort capped by design.
- Contributor Compensation: MITRE USD 100K/y; tiered retainers USD 10–60K/y for premium/specialist providers plus performance bonus pool.
- Adoption Incentives: Sandbox credit, compliance workshop, ISAC tier accelerator, non-profit discount, pilot loyalty benefit (10% Year 2, 5% Year 3).
Financial Outlook
- Pilot Year (baseline): Avg MRR USD 35K; revenue USD 420K vs. cost USD 1.65M (planned investment phase).
- Scale Year: Avg MRR USD 150K; revenue USD 1.8M vs. cost USD 1.9M (approaching break-even).
- Break-even projected at ~USD 190K MRR through upsells (dashboards, copilots) and seat expansion.
Risk & Mitigation Snapshot
- Reliability: Continuous evaluation harness, manual QA for high-impact briefs.
- Data Supply: LOIs with MITRE/ISACs, SLA-linked retainers and clawbacks.
- ROI Proof: Co-created models with pilot participants, quarterly value reviews, public success case studies.
- Policy & Compliance: Codified MoUs, data handling agreements, annual transparency report.
Next Steps for Steering Committee Review
- Confirm pilot cohort targets and success metrics.
- Validate pricing/discount assumptions and loyalty benefits.
- Endorse governance cadence (monthly WGs, quarterly reviews, year-end summit).
- Identify legal/ compliance checkpoints for MoUs and data agreements.
- Approve communication plan (executive summary + detailed PDF + Discourse post).
