Founder thesis
- LLMs are the interface; SAM (Semantic AI Model) is the system of record.
- No human-in-the-loop QA at data level: end-to-end automated Extract–Classify–Load (ECL) with provenance and governance baked into the pipeline.
- Public benefit and consumer value (aicyc.org)
- Open, verifiable knowledge: community-built SAM assets with transparent provenance for consumers and creators.
- Externality alignment: privacy-first, auditably unbiased semantic targeting; users, creators, and publishers share value.
- Contrast: OpenAI and Anthropic concentrate data/network effects and ad‑monetization privileges without returning externalities to users/creators; SAM’s tokenized, open governance distributes gains.
Strategic edge
- Provenance-native grounding: standards-based RDF/OWL/SKOS knowledge powering accurate, explainable targeting.
- Vertical depth: 274 taxonomies, 8.1M+ topics; commerce, pharma, legal, CI-grade domains ready for semantic matching.
- Model-agnostic: any LLM, same grounding; we supply truth layer and receipts (citations, lineage, policy controls).
- AdTech trillion-dollar capture (from SAM Ad Market Dominance Strategy)
- DSP/SSP with semantic matching
- DSP: verified graph of e-commerce inventory, specs, sustainability, reviews.
- SSP: contextual placement by intent (“durable backpacks” → warranty-backed hiking gear).
- Web3 stack (iKNOWit + AICYC)
- Open-source API (DePIN code), decentralized SAM maintenance, Intellisophic UI for DSP/SSP.
Tokenomics
- Utility/gov tokens for ad buys, data licenses, staking; DAO upgrades/immutability.
- Incentives: publishers (context data), users (engagement), advertisers (stake for premium targeting).
- Stablecoin rails
- Payments in USDC/DAI; auto-convert to protocol token; overcollateralized pools.
- DeFi yield (Aave/Compound) funds reserves/dev; unlock emerging markets (Argentina, Turkey).
Revenue model
- Protocol fees: 1–3% on ad spend.
- Data licensing: anonymized insights/NFTs.
- Staking/yield: liquidity pools and DeFi.
- Pricing: 20–50% premium for verifiable semantic ROI; microtransactions for SMBs.
Google attack plan
- 2–5x CTR via SAM‑verified targeting; underbid by ~15% on high‑intent keywords.
- 30% higher publisher revenue: real‑time token payouts, audience insights, archive monetization.
- Scale with Shopify/Amazon indexing for live product graphs.
Compliance and fraud controls
- ZK proofs for privacy; licensed custodians (e.g., Anchorage).
- On‑chain ad verification; volatility shield via stablecoin+collateral pools.
Timeline and goals
- Years 1–2: Launch SAM‑1 DSP/SSP (Web3). Win 5% of premium verticals (pharma/luxury).
- Years 3–4: 15% contextual share; 50+ e‑commerce integrations.
- Year 5: Control 20% of digital ad spend; default search ads partner for publishers.
LLM monetization alignment
- LLM-as-consumer and LLM-as-publisher marketplace:
- SAM provides semantic bids inside LLM responses with transparent attribution.
- Clicks trigger on‑chain settlement to LLM providers, creators, and publishers.
- Outcomes: fewer, higher-quality ads; premium pricing for guaranteed LLM visibility; new formats optimized for LLM interpretation.
Execution focus (next 12–18 months)
- Ship SAM‑1 DSP/SSP with stablecoin settlement and DAO governance.
- Secure 3 marquee publisher alliances and 2 hyperscaler marketplace listings.
- Integrate 10 top e‑commerce platforms for live inventory graphs.
- Launch Pharma and Legal copilots grounded on SAM; Energy and CI pilots.
