Contributor Agreement

Last updated: February 6, 2026

Summary

This agreement governs how contributors are rewarded when their submissions lead to patented solutions. Revenue from patents is split: 30% to the platform, 50% to the contributor network, and 20% to all users as a universal dividend.

1. Overview and Purpose

This Contributor Agreement ("Agreement") establishes the terms under which contributors ("You" or "Contributor") participate in the GreaterGood platform ("Platform"), operated by Profile Matching Ltd., a company registered in the United Kingdom ("Company", "We", "Us"), and receive compensation for contributions that lead to patented inventions.

GreaterGood's mission is to solve humanity's greatest challenges through AI-powered innovation while ensuring fair compensation for all contributors. This Agreement ensures transparency in how revenue from successful patents is distributed through our reward system.

Important: This reward system does not constitute equity, shares, or any ownership interest in Profile Matching Ltd. or any affiliated entity. All payments under this Agreement are contractual rewards for contributions, not dividends or shareholder distributions.

2. Revenue Distribution Model

All net revenue generated from patent licensing, sales, royalties, settlements, and other commercialization activities is distributed according to the following model:

PoolPercentageRecipient
%A - Platform Pool30%Profile Matching Ltd. (operational costs, AI infrastructure, legal fees)
%B - Contributor Pool50%Problem submitters, solution contributors, validators, referrers
%C - Global Reward Pool20%All registered users (Universal Basic Dividend)

2.1 Platform Pool (%A)

The 30% platform pool covers operational expenses including:

  • AI model infrastructure and compute costs
  • Patent filing, prosecution, and maintenance fees
  • Legal and compliance expenses
  • Platform development and maintenance
  • Customer support and community management

2.2 Contributor Pool (%B)

The 50% contributor pool is distributed among all parties who contributed to the successful patent, weighted by contribution significance (see Section 3).

2.3 Global Reward Pool (%C)

The 20% global reward pool is distributed equally among all registered users, creating a Universal Basic Dividend. This ensures that the benefits of innovation are shared broadly with humanity.

3. Contribution Types and Weights

Within the 50% Contributor Pool, revenue is allocated based on contribution type and significance:

5.2 Universal Dividend Rewards

Universal dividend rewards are distributed to all registered users from the Global Reward Pool (%C). These payments represent a share of revenue from the entire patent portfolio, ensuring that everyone benefits from the platform's collective success.
