Kudos to the team for such an awesome amount of work.
A technical roadmap has begun to be developed which outlines the process of "DAOification" of the organization. The initial focus is on understanding the time-cost of the project and required resources.
#### Contract Extension Negotiations with Sartography
- Summarizations provided by Eric in legal:
- Just to summarise where we’re at with Sartography as of the latest agreement, Sartography has indicated that they will develop additional SpiffWorkflow components called “SpiffWorkflow Extensions”. The negotiations with Sartography revolve around the issue ownership and licensing of the IP for these SpiffWorkflow Extensions as developed for Status. The points are as follows:
(i) Commercial license instead of an open source license: Originally all Spiffworkflow software would either be open source or be delivered to Status for its ownership. Sartography are insisting on deviating from this approach for the Extensions and intend to apply a commercial license to it. This is an unacceptable position. If they develop IP with Status’ money, then it must align with the original approach.
(ii) Waiver of fee for commercial license: Sartography have indicated that they are willing to “waive” the fee for any commercial license for the Extensions (referring this as a “gift” to Status). The terms of the commercial license will still need to be negotiated and are unknown to us right now. The waiver of a fee for a commercial license which we don’t have any view on may not be worth much if it turns out to be very restrictive.
**An image of what Sartography aims to do, important to note this is not funded by Status:**

For the avoidance of doubt, all “original” Spiffworkflow Software still aligns with our original agreed approach i.e. Sartography is obliged to keep it open source and any thing it delivers to Status will belong to Status who is obliged to make it open source.
**Path Forward** - Still needs to be finalized by legal; however, Sartography is building an ability to commercialize features that they are developing outside of development with Status. They will extend a commercial license to us and waive all fees associated _**if**_ Status uses any of those features. All feature they've expressed they are building are note features Status would leverage. For example, datastores for personal data and data stores for financial data.
#### Real Options Analysis
Frederico lead the way on developing a framework (and explainer) for performing Real Options Analysis on Keycard. Keycard was chosen based on its smaller project size and traditional evaluation methodology as a project (the easiest one to start with) with the goal in mind of generalizing the framework for all projects within Logos and Status. The current analysis and framework can be found [in Notion](https://www.notion.so/native/Keycard-s-Real-Option-Analyses-with-the-BSM-Model-526655fafd8f4af697a1d28211f325ba?deepLinkOpenNewTab=true) for now. Once finalized and reviewed, it may be released for public consumption.
