The Business Model

Consulting funds the build.
The build earns the ownership.

Consulting funds platform development; platform development earns equity and a management mandate; mandates generate recurring revenue that reduces dependence on billable hours.

Asset Lifecycle

Every asset passes through three entities.

The governing principle: an entity carrying operational risk holds no assets, and an entity holding assets carries no operational risk. Isolating risk from ownership protects the whole.

IStage I

Create

Anewk IO: Input

Develops the platform or sources the asset. Contracts with clients, employs personnel, carries professional indemnity. Compensated in fees, or in equity for platform work.

Risk
Carries delivery, defect and employment liability
Assets
Holds no assets, by design
IIStage II

Hold

Anewk IO: Output

Receives and holds the equity and assets arising from Input’s work: platform equity, special purpose vehicles, trusts and asset title. Does not contract, develop or trade.

Risk
No operations, therefore no operational exposure
Assets
Holds all Anewk-owned assets
IIIStage III

Manage

Anewk XYZ

Operates the asset for a management fee, whether owned by Output or a third party. Operate administers real assets; Capital administers the financial layer.

Risk
Carries fiduciary and operational duty to owners
Assets
Manages assets it does not own

To protect the business we create, hold and manage assets across three entities — isolating risk from ownership at every stage.

Revenue Streams

Fee. Equity. Mandate.

One capability investment, monetised three ways. Each platform delivered adds an equity position, a prospective mandate, and a reference for the next fee engagement.

Form I

Fee

  • Consulting & architecture — R1,750–R2,200 / hr
  • Retained services — R28,000–R65,000 / month
  • Specialist & digital forensics — R2,400–R3,450 / hr

The recurring base that funds capability and platform development.

Form II

Equity

  • Earned on a sliding scale against unfunded fees
  • Share rises to cover what the client cannot fund in cash
  • Realised on disposal of the platform

Prices the delivery risk Anewk carries when it builds ahead of a client’s cash.

Form III

Mandate

  • Asset management fee charged on gross asset value
  • Charged once a mandate is operative
  • Recurring — reduces dependence on billable hours

The compounding end of the arc, and the reason measurement must persist.

Holding Structure

Assets, ring-fenced.

Output holds Anewk-owned assets exclusively. Mandated third-party assets sit alongside it in separate vehicles, each isolated from the balance sheet and from every other mandate.

Special Purpose Vehicle

One per platform

Equity in InimbaPath, WashX and CannaCloud

Each platform carries different co-owners. Separate vehicles keep those parties off one another’s share registers and let a single platform be disposed of without restructuring the rest.

Direct Company Title

Held directly

Vehicles, equipment and future fleet owned by Anewk

Direct ownership is appropriate where Anewk is the beneficial owner. No trust structure is required.

Bewind Trust

One per mandate

Third-party assets under an Anewk XYZ mandate

Ownership vests in the beneficiaries while the trustee administers — corresponding precisely to a mandate over assets Anewk does not own. Each mandate is ring-fenced from the balance sheet and from other mandates.

Registration is sequenced to need. ANEWK (Pty) Ltd is the only entity currently registered; Output is registered when the first platform equity becomes issuable. Two structural questions — Output as subsidiary or sibling, and the section 7C trust treatment — are being resolved with counsel before incorporation.
