How Studio0 makes money without lying about readiness.
Creative infrastructure for people who already live in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Audition, and a chat window. We put the desks in one lab, gate private rooms until they are ready, and sell seats as craft depth compounds.

Unit logic (working model)
SeatMaker seat
Low ARPU, high habit. Unlocks design.Studio0 desks and marketing stubs. Convert from free prototype traffic.
SeatPro seat
Higher ARPU. Full suite depth, tickets path, social plugins, priority models in ai.Studio0.
TxnTicket take rate
When events leave mock pay: platform fee on AU gig tickets sold through Studio0. Volume follows discovery quality.
HostPrivate → public rooms
Hosted brands stay dark until promotion. Trust is the moat. Leaking unfinished rooms kills the thesis.

Risks we name out loud
- Inference cost if model use outruns seats.
- Adobe and DAW incumbents keep shipping. We win on integration and honesty.
- Live ticketing needs payments and venue trust before take rate matters.
- Private room discipline: one leak and the brand story breaks.
Ask shape
Capital buys craft depth and AU market density, not vanity headcount. First dollars go to Photo0 / Motion0 / Wave0 quality, real pay rails, and one social OAuth path that actually posts.
