QUEST Community Governance Proposal
Status: Open for Discussion (1-week comment period)Ratified by: All voting members + standing senators (revenue-producing leaders)
1. Voting Rights
All paying members get one vote. Proposals are ratified by standing senators (revenue-producing leaders of the organization).
2. Bounties & Compensation
Bounties are paid as phantom equity (slices) — think of them like a coupon bond that pays out whenever the company makes money, for as long as you're actively contributing.
If you're willing to trade time and demonstrate revenue-capturing throughput, you'll be compensated the same as anyone else in the organization.
3. Current Milestones
# Milestone Status 1 Finish QUEST OS Workbook + Training ~90% done 2 Business owner case studies ~80% done (editing) 3 100 local practitioner case studies ~5% done
Note: Anyone using the workbook can and should become a case study.
4. Open Roles: DM Outreach
The opportunity: Build an AI-assisted outreach system. Each account sends 30–40 DMs/day. With ~1 hour of work, we see ~10 joins/day per account.
The math: One worker running 10 accounts → ~100 joins/day. Pair with a free group onboarding funnel ($27/mo or $300/yr) at 40% commission — enough for a decent living.
5. Treasury
- Liquid: $1,000+ (covers 12+ months burn at current rate)
- Illiquid assets: $50k+
- Reimbursement policy: Cash requests are reimbursed at a 4:1 ratio, paid out over 12 months as phantom equity slices. Your percentage is based on the total pool.
- All paid (voting) members decide how treasury funds are spent.
6. Culture: Daily Check-ins
To build a culture of execution, every active contributor checks in once per day — async, 90 seconds, any channel (Skool, Discord, or DM to your lead).
Format: What you did → What you'll work on → What's blocking you.
The standard: One project at a time. Finish before starting the next. If you're blocked, ask for help or find a different path through.
Accountability: Anyone claiming inner-circle status without contributing will be removed and lose their slices.
7. Team Retreat (Milestone-Gated)
Trigger: Win the Skool Games OR cross $30k/mo.
What: 90-day, all-expenses-paid co-working house (Thailand, Manila, Pattaya, or Cebu). 8–12 private rooms with live-in house managers.
Covered: Flights, housing, and personal bonus expenses.
Open to anyone who is:
- Generating revenue for the company, OR
- Fully committed as a research intern, OR
- Willing to do what's needed to make this work
Why: 0% tax rate, everything paid by the org, and it's fun.
8. QUEST OS — Working App
The core product question: Where is the bottleneck, why, what's stopping it, and how do we keep it from coming back as we grow?
We have a functional app today. The goal is to get it into every member's hands as a unified dashboard — not just ClickUp or Obsidian, but a third layer that ties everything together.
9. Early Funding Target
Goal: $3,000/yr ARR (100 members × $27/mo, or 10 members × $300/yr).
This is the threshold where the founder can go 100% on QUEST OS without distraction. All funds follow treasury rules above.
Near-term infrastructure ask: $600 for a dedicated Mac Mini to run AI agent infrastructure 24/7 (currently runs on a personal laptop — works great, but goes offline during travel). This gives the whole team an always-on AI system, updatable by anyone via pull request.
All proposals are open for discussion. Leave comments below. Major amendments will be edited into this document using the numbering system above.
