What This Revenue Model Is
Profit is not the enemy of purpose. It is the engine that keeps the purpose alive. An underfunded mission eventually becomes no mission at all. The belief that mission-driven work requires personal financial sacrifice is not a principle, it is a pricing problem.
Mission and margin in the same model.

Mission-led work is still sold as outcomes. The discipline is refusing to discount your expertise just because the cause is good.
Priced like the consulting it is, it can carry full margin while serving the mission.
Modeled, anchored to general consulting retainer rates (Consulting Success, 2025). Mission framing does not set the price; the value does.
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
