Board session · Motion 04
PRICING DECISION
Chief Marketing Officer
Raising price by 30% is defensible. Our positioning is under-priced against three comparable operators, and our win rate is above 60% — that's a pricing signal, not a sales signal.
WAITINGChief Financial Officer
The margin case is strong. The cash case depends on churn. If we lose more than 11% of the base, the increase is net-negative for two quarters. I want a modelled floor before approval.
WAITINGCustomer Officer
Forty-one percent of accounts joined during the launch pricing narrative. Repricing them without a grandfathering window converts loyal customers into a support incident.
WAITINGChief Contrarian
Everyone is debating how to raise price. Nobody has asked whether we're solving a discounting problem with a pricing decision. If discounting is the leak, the increase just widens it.

Founder decision
The board does not vote. It hands you a recommendation, the recorded dissent and the reasoning behind both. You decide.
Founder Lock
This product advises. You decide.
Founder removal, ownership changes, equity or debt issuance, sale of the company, banking ownership, material financial commitments and legal signatures are permanently protected. AI advisors here are not legally recognised directors.
Good things to ask.
No. The Sovereign Board is advisory and non-voting. It is not a legally recognised director, officer or fiduciary. Your legal governance stays exactly where it is today.
Founder Lock is the permanent boundary of the system: AI advises, AI challenges, AI researches, and AI may execute only within limits you explicitly approved. Irreversible and high-risk acts always stop at you.
If you're still defining the business, start with Sovereign Start. If the business runs but decisions are lonely, take Sovereign Board. If you want the board wired into daily operations, take Board Pro. The two-minute assessment will point you.
No, but Board is far more useful when the company's structure is already defined. Many founders run Start and Board together for the first quarter.
Only inside narrow standing delegations you approve, with read-before-write checks, verification and rollback rules. Anything outside those limits becomes an approval request.
