# KNEL — Internal Price Book (Draft)
Intent
- Nominal, simple rates; accountability over precision; revisit after CPA review and revenue.
Model (proposed)
- Base infra absorbed by KNEL initially; perLLC flat recharge starts only when revenue is material (TBD).
SKUs (initial)
- CLD-APP-SLOT — Cloudron app slot (per deployed app)
- OIDC-IDP — OIDC identity provider (per LLC)
- GIT-ORG — Gitea organization
- MAT-PROP — Matomo property (site ID)
- DOC-SEAT — Documenso seats (bundle)
- RED-PROJ — Redmine project (per LLC)

# KNEL — Shared Services Questions (STEP0)
Context (confirmed)
- OIDC single sign-on for all Cloudron apps.
- Matomo portfolio roll-up desired.
- CPA engaged; policies to be reviewed.
- Infra base cost ≈ $100/month; keep accounting lightweight.
Questions (answer inline as ready)
- Historical investments: which LLCs have balances to recover (e.g., RackRental/Suborbital)?
- Pricing stance: keep base recharges at $0 until revenue, then nominal flat recharge? Any threshold?
- Access: any OIDC group/role gaps to fix now across Gitea/Redmine/Matomo/Documenso?
- Matomo portfolio KPIs to show (visits, conversions, goals, revenue proxy)?
- Documenso templates to prioritize (JV, Intercompany, SOW, NDA)?
- DR/SLOs: confirm targets by tier and quarterly restore cadence.

# KNEL — Policy Drafts (STEP0)
Intercompany Recharge Policy (Draft)
- Purpose: keep internal billing simple; prioritize shipping.
- Base infra (~$100/mo) absorbed by KNEL until businesses have revenue; then nominal flat recharge may begin (to be confirmed with CPA).
- Monthly invoicing via Dolibarr; $0 allowed when below threshold.
Investment Recovery Policy (Draft)
- Track larger historical balances (e.g., RackRental/Suborbital) as intercompany loans; repay before distributions.
- Initial interest 0% unless CPA advises otherwise.
Access and Identity Policy (Draft)
- OIDC SSO is authoritative; no local accounts. Quarterly access reviews.
Backup/DR Policy (Draft)
- Tiers and RPO/RTO targets to be confirmed; quarterly restore tests.
Matomo Analytics Policy (Draft)
- Per-business site IDs; portfolio roll-up dashboard; 1224 month retention.
Documenso Templates Policy (Draft)
- Templates: JV, Intercompany Agreement, SOW, NDA (prioritization pending).

# KNEL — Shared Services Proposal (Draft)
Purpose
- Establish KNEL as the shared-services backbone across all LLCs with simple, auditable intercompany practices, minimal overhead, and portfolio-level visibility.
Scope (current)
- Identity/Access: OIDC SSO for all Cloudron apps (Gitea, Redmine, Matomo, Documenso, others).
- ERP/CRM: Dolibarr per-LLC, plus KNEL, Board, and Family Office instances.
- Infra: Cloudron automation for DNS/SSL/backups/upgrades; infra base cost ≈ $100/month.
Architecture and Operating Model
- Tenancy: Keep Dolibarr single-tenant per LLC. KNEL provides shared services to each LLC.
- Roles: Standardize groups/roles: Owner, Operator, Contributor, Viewer. Map these to OIDC groups.
- Inventory: Maintain a simple CMDB list of Cloudron apps with tags: `biz=<slug>`, `env=prod|staging`, `slo=tier-1|2|3`, `cost_center=KNEL:<sku>`.
- Backups/DR: Define RPO/RTO by tier (suggested: Tier1 RPO 6h, RTO 4h; Tier2 RPO 24h, RTO 1d; Tier3 best effort). Quarterly restore tests.
Intercompany Accounting (Lightweight)
- Historical investments: Track RackRental/Suborbital large balances as intercompany loans to be repaid before any distributions. For small/legacy domain fees, waive or treat as immaterial.
- Base infra cost ($100/mo): Keep at KNEL until a business generates revenue above a defined threshold; then begin simple recharges. Example threshold: revenue ≥ $500/mo → recharge a flat $10$20/mo.
- Price book: Publish a KNEL internal price list (flat rates) for common services (e.g., “Cloudron app slot,” “Matomo property,” “Gitea org,” “Documenso seats”). Keep rates nominal; objective is accountability, not profit.
- Dolibarr: KNEL is Supplier; each LLC is Customer. Use one recurring invoice per LLC per month (may be $0 if below threshold) plus adhoc for exceptional items.
- Approvals/Aging: 1step approval; monthly statement pack; soft remediation (freeze noncritical services after 60 days, with manual override).
Cloudron/Infra Practices
- App tagging and nightly inventory export (CSV/JSON) for reconciliation. Manual mapping acceptable initially.
- Change mgmt: Simple maintenance window and Markdown change log with Git tags.
- Monitoring: Monthly uptime report by tier; backup success rates.
Analytics and Documents
- Matomo: Perbusiness site IDs with a portfolio rollup dashboard (visits, conversions, goal completions, top referrers). 1224 month retention.
- Documenso: Template library for JV, Intercompany Agreement, SOW, NDA (prioritize later). Standardize signer roles.
- Redmine: Single instance with perLLC projects. Standard issue types; optional time-tracking for KNEL billable support if needed.
Governance and Review
- CPA review: Have CPA review intercompany policy and price book prior to significant revenue.
- Security: OIDC is the single source of truth. Quarterly access reviews of groups/roles per LLC.
- Policy docs: Versioned in IBP (public) with links out to canonical legal repos.
Open Decisions (for you)
- Accounting basis (cash vs accrual) and CPA preferences.
- Revenue threshold and flat recharge amounts per LLC.
- Exact RPO/RTO by tier and which apps are Tier1.
- Documenso template prioritization order.
- Redmine time-tracking usage for KNEL support.
