THE AI STARTUP PLAYBOOKCHAPTER 02 / 07

From Revenue to Incentives — The Economic Engine

Develop a sustainable business model and an effective tokenomics framework.

OBJECTIVE OF THIS STAGE
Stage 02 of 07

Develop a sustainable business model and an effective tokenomics framework.

After your project narrative and positioning are clear, the next step is to build a robust economic engine — shaping both your business model and tokenomics. This stage determines whether your project achieves true sustainability, or just relies on incentives and temporary hype.

If Stage One answers “Why does this project exist?”, Stage Two answers “Can it run on its own — and keep running?”
