Domain Expert Professional Fee

Domain Experts are responsible for quality, cost and timeline of plans and works done by R&D Associates and get 50% of their teams’ billing to projects.

Let's say a domain expert reviews and approves plans and works delivered by a team of 8 full time university interns who work 40 hour a week that's 160 hour a month x 8 team interns = 1280 man-hours of work billed at $10 per hour to a project and that would  be 1280 x 10 = $12800 billed amount; After taking out 20% for PMO Team overhead recovery, 50% of the balance 80%, that's $5,120, would go to the domain expert and the other half goes to the 8 interns in the domain experts team.  

Please note standard terms of 90 days credit secured by convertible project stock options at nominal value on the due date apply to all work posts from projects unless a different payment term such as cash on delivery are specifically given in a work post. 

The convertible stock options against the credit provide co-creators with an opportunity to become co-founders in the startup projects they work for and that would lead to potential capital gains and dividend income over and above the professional fee. However, the opportunity comes with a risk of a loss and therefore domain experts should use their own judgement before accepting the offered terms.
