How you get paid — two ways.
There are exactly two ways money reaches your position. Once you see them, the whole plan clicks. No income is guaranteed — this shows the mechanics, not a promise of earnings.
Entry rewards — from your own directs
POSITION
under your link
When someone joins the program using your link, you receive their entry reward (326 POL at Premium) — directly, and you keep it. You earn this on every direct you ever bring, not just the first two. Two is simply the number that qualifies you.
Upgrade payments — each layer pays you at ONE level
This is the part people ask about. When your team upgrades, each payment travels up the matrix to the position at the matching depth. Each person below you pays you exactly once — at the single level that matches how far below you they sit.
To catch each one, you must be at that level yourself (and qualified). Layer 3's Culmen payment only stops at you if you're at Culmen — otherwise it passes up to the next eligible position. That's why the rule is: stay one level ahead of your team's deepest active layer.
Premium vs. Standard — why an amount can come in smaller
Every figure on this page is shown at the Premium tier — the tier our whole team builds at. The contract also has a Standard tier that costs about half to enter and, in exchange, pays and earns half as much at every level. So if a payment ever lands smaller than the diagram shows, it's almost always because it came from a Standard-tier position below you.
| Payment | Premium | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Entry reward (a direct joins) | 326 POL | 163 POL |
| 1st upgrade → Ascensus | 621 POL | 311 POL |
| 2nd upgrade → Fabrica | 1,243 POL | 621 POL |
| 3rd upgrade → Culmen | 2,486 POL | 1,243 POL |
Two things to remember: your tier is set when you join and can't be changed later — upgrading advances your level, never your tier. And a Standard position in your team pays everyone above it half, at every level. So the team play is simple: join Premium, and make sure the people you bring on do too, so your whole leg pays full value up the line.
