## Executive Summary

This document details the financial architecture, market opportunity, revenue streams, and unit economics for the **Learnille** platform.

***

## 💰 Revenue Models

Learnille operates a hybrid revenue model combining platform commission fees, subscription tiers, and processing fees.

### 1. Marketplace Commission Model

* **Course Sales Fee**: Platform retains a **15% - 20%** commission on all self-paced course sales.
* **Consultation Booking Fee**: Platform retains a **10% - 15%** commission on 1-on-1 and recurring consultation session bookings.
* **Live Space Tickets**: Platform retains a **15%** fee on paid live webinars and group sessions.

### 2. Provider Wallet & Payout System

* **Escrow / Payment Hold**: Booking funds are safely held in escrow until session completion or course refund window expiry (14 days).
* **Withdrawal Processing**: Provider earnings accumulate in an in-platform `Wallet`. Withdrawals are requested via NGN bank transfer (Flutterwave) or international payout providers with standard withdrawal verification.
* **Withdrawal Fee**: Small fixed fee per payout transaction to cover payment provider costs.
