1.2 Workforce: Gig-First, Zero Headcount
Core Rule: No fixed headcount in any country beyond the Ops Manager. All work is gig/per-task.
| Role | Count | Type | Compensation | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jiya HK Director | 1 (Founder) | Owner | Profit distribution | Hong Kong |
| Ops Manager | 1 | Fixed (only salaried role) | ~$3,000-5,000/month | Remote (any location) |
| FIS Freelancers | 10-50+ (scales with orders) | Gig, per-task | L1-L5 payout (see Section 3.0) | China (remotely) |
| FPR Freelancers | 5-25+ (scales with orders) | Gig, per-task | L1-L5 payout (see Section 3.0) | China (on-ground) |
| Platform Developer | On-demand | Gig, per-project | Fixed project rate | India / Global remote |
| Customer Support | On-demand | Gig, per-ticket or per-hour | Hourly / per-ticket | India / Global remote |
| Digital Marketer | On-demand | Gig, per-campaign | Per campaign / monthly retainer | India / Global remote |
No office rent. No fixed IT infrastructure. No equipment budget. Everyone works remotely with their own tools.
1.3 Revenue Model: Service Charges Only (No Hidden Commission)
Core Rule: Transparent pricing. The buyer pays exactly what the supplier charges. No markup, no hidden commission added to either party. EzzyyBuys earns only from declared service fees.
| Revenue Source | Description | Exception? |
|---|---|---|
| Service Fees (Supplier Discovery, Sample Procurement, Concierge, Alerts, Compliance, QC, Logistics, End-to-End) | Flat declared fee paid by buyer for the service rendered. No markup on supplier prices. | N/A |
| Bulk Order Fulfillment Commission | The ONLY service where Jiya HK takes a % of order value (~5%). This commission sustains operational costs of the platform. Disclosed to both buyer and supplier. | ONLY exception |
| Supplier Subscriptions | Annual fee from suppliers to receive matched buyer queries | N/A |
| Featured Quote Boost | Optional paid boost for suppliers | N/A |
What the buyer sees:
- Service Fee: $27 (what they pay EzzyyBuys)
- Supplier Quote: $1.25/unit - 10,000 units = $12,500 (exact supplier price, no markup)
- Total: $12,527 (transparent)
On Bulk Orders only:
1.4 RACI Model - Single Approval Gate
Core Rule: The gig worker is Responsible (does the work). The Ops Manager is Accountable (single approver). Jiya HK is Informed (auto-notified, not an active approval step). The buyer is Informed (auto-delivery after approval).
| Service | R - Responsible (Does the Work) | A - Accountable (Approves) | C - Consulted (Input Needed) | I - Informed (Kept in Loop) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier Discovery ($27) | FIS Freelancer (searches, enters data) | Ops Manager (reviews + approves) | None for standard orders | Jiya HK (auto-notify), Client (auto-PDF) |
| Sample Procurement ($36+) | FIS (search) + FPR (procure + QC) | Ops Manager (approves QC report) | Client (approves sample cost quote) | Jiya HK (auto-notify) |
| Bulk Order ($198-750+) | FIS + FPR | Ops Manager (approves quote, monitors) | Jiya HK Director (legal review if >$50K) | Client (status updates) |
| Sourcing Concierge ($198+) | FIS (shortlist) + FPR (escort) | Ops Manager (approves itinerary) | Client (approves travel package) | Jiya HK (auto-notify) |
| Product Alerts ($9/mo) | FIS (market research) | Ops Manager (approves alert content) | N/A | Client (auto-delivery) |
| Compliance Check ($45) | Gig Researcher (India/remote) | Ops Manager (approves report) | Jiya HK (legal disclaimer review) | Client (auto-delivery) |
| Bulk QC Inspection | 3rd Party Inspector | Ops Manager (reviews results) | Client (selects pass/fail resolution) | Jiya HK (auto-notify) |
| Logistics Arrangements | Gig Logistics Coordinator | Ops Manager (confirms booking) | N/A | Client (tracking), Jiya HK (auto-notify) |
| Crisis / Dispute (any service) | Relevant gig worker | Ops Manager (leads resolution) | Jiya HK Director (legal/financial risk) | Client (status updates) |

Jiya HK is informed, not a blocker.
1.6 Inter-Entity Legal Structure
2. Fund Flow & Treasury Architecture
2.1 Core Principle: 100% Client Payment - Hong Kong First
Jiya HK does NOT hold an escrow/money service operator license. Instead, funds are received as advance payment for services + goods, with Jiya HK acting as the contractual principal in the transaction - the buyer contracts with Jiya HK, and Jiya HK contracts with the supplier.
CLIENTS (Global)
" Pays 100% upfront (Service Fee + Order Value)
" via Stripe, PayPal, Alipay, WeChat Pay, UPI, Instamojo, Wire
" JIYA HK MERCHANT ACCOUNTS Account 1: Operating Account (Service Fees + Commissions) Account 2: Client Funds Holding Account (Order Values) NOT a licensed escrow Segregated from operating funds Jiya HK bears full responsibility for funds Account 3: Operating Reserve (6-month expense runway) Bank: HSBC HK / Standard Chartered HK Processor: Stripe HK + Airwallex HK (multi-currency) Supplier Payment Structure:
" -- 80% AFTER Inspection Passed + Shipment Dispatched
" Supplier receives 80% of order value
" (Jiya HK verifies: QC report PASS + B/L or AWB issued)
"" -- 20% AFTER Goods Arrive at Buyer's Destination
Buyer confirms receipt via platform
Supplier receives final 20% of order value
(Final holdback ensures supplier accountability for shipping)
2.2 Fund Flow Per Transaction
Example A: Supplier Discovery ($27) - Service Charge Only
BUYER PAYS: $27
JIYA HK Operating Account: $27
" $3 - FIS Freelancer (L2 payout, per task)
" $1 - Gig platform dev/support allocation
" $1 - Ops Manager allocation
" $0.81 - Payment gateway (~3%)
"" $21.19 - Jiya HK Net Profit (79%)
No markup. No commission. Transparent.
Example B: Bulk Order ($10,000 Order + $450 Service Fee) - Commission EXPLICITLY SHOWN
BUYER PAYS: $10,450
" $450 - Jiya HK Operating Account (Service Fee)
" $10,500 - Jiya HK Client Funds Account (Supplier price $10,000 + $500 commission)
SERVICE FEE ($450) - same as non-Bulk services:
" FIS Payout (L3): $8
" FPR Payout (L4): $25
" Ops Manager allocation: $5
" Gateway fee (~3%): $13.50
"" Jiya HK Net: $398.50 (89%)
BULK COMMISSION ($500 = 5% of $10K):
The ONLY additional revenue beyond service fees.
Explicitly shown to buyer as "Platform Fee: 5% ($500)"
Supplier receives: $10,000 (100% of their quoted price)
$500 goes to Jiya HK to sustain platform operations.
BUYER SEES:
Service Fee: $450
Supplier Quote: $10,000 (exact supplier price)
Platform Fee (5%): $500 (clearly disclosed)
Total: $10,950
Example C: Sample Procurement ($36) - Service Charge Only
BUYER PAYS: $36 Service Fee + Sample Costs (exact supplier cost)
JIYA HK: $36
" FIS payout (L2): $3 (if new search)
" FPR payout (L3): $7 (QC + procurement)
" Gateway fee: $1.08
"" Jiya HK Net: $24.92 (69%)
Sample cost = supplier's exact price, passed through.
No markup on the product. No hidden commission.
Core Principle: The buyer always sees exactly what the supplier charges. EzzyyBuys earns on service fees alone. The Bulk Order commission is the sole exception - and it's explicitly disclosed as a separate line item.
2.3 Operating Costs - Minimal, Variable-Only Model
Core Rule: No fixed headcount beyond Ops Manager. All other costs are variable (per-task/per-project). No office, no equipment.

| FIS/FPR Gig Payouts | $150-1,500 | Variable | $3-50 per task. Scales with order volume. |
| Platform Dev (gig) | $500-2,000 | Variable | Per-project. Only when features needed. |
| Customer Support (gig) | $200-800 | Variable | Per-ticket or hourly. Scales with users. |

| Total Monthly Burn (low) | ~$4,036 | N/A | Ops Mgr + infra + minimal gigs |
| Total Monthly Burn (high) | ~$11,030 | N/A | Ops Mgr + active dev + marketing + support |
Key comparison:
| Metric | Old Model (v3.0) | New Model (v4.0) |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed monthly cost | $31,500 | $3,000-5,000 |
| Annual fixed burn | $378,000 | $36,000-60,000 |

3. Service Catalog - Deep Drill-Down
Each service below details:
3.0 Task Complexity Classification System
When a buyer's order is received, the system auto-assigns a complexity level (L1---L5) to each task generated for FIS/FPR freelancers. The complexity determines the per-task payout amount.
| Level | Label | Payout Range | Criteria (Auto-Detected by System) | Example Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Basic | $1 - $2 | Single product category, common item, domestic China search only, no special certifications needed | Basic product catalog lookup, single supplier contact, data entry into form |
| L2 | Standard | $3 - $5 | 1-2 product categories, requires photos, multiple supplier contacts (3+), standard quality check | Standard FIS supplier search, FPR sample photo collection, basic QC checklist |
| L3 | Advanced | $6 - $10 | Niche/technical product, multiple countries sourcing, certificate verification required, negotiation needed | Complex FIS search (medical devices, electronics certifications), FPR negotiation + sample procurement, detailed QC video |
| L4 | Expert | $11 - $20 | Factory audit required, high-value order (>$10K), multi-factory visit, deep QC with testing | On-site factory audit, mid-production QC visit, compliance document verification, logistics coordination |
| L5 | Specialist | $21 - $50 | Ultra-complex, multi-country, regulated industry (pharma, aerospace), VIP client, crisis resolution | Concierge trip escort (multi-day), urgent crisis factory visit, complex multi-supplier negotiation, end-to-end sourcing for $50K+ orders |
Complexity Assignment Algorithm:
WHEN buyer_submits_order:
score = 0
// Product complexity
IF product_category IN ("electronics", "medical", "automotive", "pharma") - score += 2
ELSE IF product_category IN ("textiles", "home_goods", "toys") - score += 1
ELSE - score += 0
// Certification requirements
IF certifications_required > 0 - score += 1 per certification (max +2)
// Multi-country sourcing
IF preferred_countries.length > 1 - score += 1
// Quantity/Order value
IF target_quantity > 10000 OR estimated_order_value > 10000 - score += 1
IF target_quantity > 50000 OR estimated_order_value > 50000 - score += 2
// Urgency
IF client_priority = "expedited" - score += 1
// Requires factory visit
IF service IN ("sample_procurement", "bulk_order", "concierge") - score += 1
IF factory_audit_required = TRUE - score += 1
// Map score to level
IF score 1 - L1 (Basic)
IF score = 2 - L2 (Standard)
IF score = 3 - L3 (Advanced)
IF score = 4 - L4 (Expert)
IF score 5 - L5 (Specialist)
Level-Based SLA Adjustment:
| Level | FIS SLA | FPR SLA | Review SLA |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 12 hours | 24 hours | 2 hours |
| L2 | 24 hours | 48 hours | 4 hours |
| L3 | 36 hours | 72 hours | 4 hours |
| L4 | 48 hours | 96 hours | 8 hours |
| L5 | Defined per task | Defined per task | 12 hours |

+-- SLA timer starts
+-- Payout amount locked (based on complexity)
v
GIG WORKER COMPLETES TASK:

Smaart Square & Shiva Internet - Legal Shells Only
These entities have zero operational checkpoints. They exist solely for: (a) legal compliance as employer-of-record for gig workers in their jurisdictions, (b) holding business licenses (WeChat Work for Shiva), and (c) annual corporate filings. No operations flow through them.
5.5 Escalation Matrix - Lean
| Severity | Trigger | Response | Who |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Inspection FAIL, supplier fraud, payment dispute >$1K, client legal threat | Ops Manager freezes payments. Crisis Room. Notify Jiya HK Dir within 4h. | Ops Manager leads; Jiya HK Dir consulted |
| HIGH | SLA breached 2x, client threatening chargeback, supplier non-response >72h | Ops Manager takes over directly. Notify Jiya HK Dir. | Ops Manager |
| MEDIUM | SLA breached 1x, client complaint, supplier delay | Ops Manager intervenes. Reassign or expedite. | Ops Manager |
| LOW | Minor data error, cosmetic issue | Gig worker fixes + resubmits. No escalation. | Gig worker |
5.6 Crisis Protocol (Simplified)
TRIGGER: Inspection FAILED / Supplier Fraud / Client Legal Threat
[0 min] OPS MANAGER receives auto-alert
+-- Freeze all payments on order
+-- Open Crisis Room (Ops Mgr + relevant gig worker)
[1 hour] OPS MANAGER:
+-- Reviews issue, contacts supplier
+-- Prepares options for client (discount/rework/refund)
+-- Notifies Jiya HK Director if >$1K at risk
[4 hours] OPS MANAGER:
+-- Presents resolution options to client
+-- Client selects preferred resolution
[24 hours] Resolution documented + executed. Jiya HK Director auto-notified.
[48 hours] IF UNRESOLVED:
+-- Jiya HK Director takes over -> Legal -> HKIAC if needed

9. China Operational Considerations
9.1 GFW Impact & Mitigations
| Service | Blocked in China? | Impact on Platform | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Sheets | Yes | Cannot access order/supplier data | Migrate to PostgreSQL on Alibaba Cloud HK (Phase 2); Phase 1: Shiva uses VPN |
| Google Apps Script | Yes | Backend logic broken for China users | Phase 2: Replace with Node.js API on HK server |
| Google Fonts | Yes | Pages display fallback fonts | Immediate: Self-host fonts. Replace Google Fonts CDN with local files. |
| Google Translate | Unreliable | Translation breaks | Immediate: Self-hosted i18n (JSON locale files per language). |
| Stripe.js | Partially blocked | Chinese buyers cannot use Stripe checkout | Use Alipay/WeChat Pay Cross-border instead. Stripe only for non-China buyers. |
| reCAPTCHA | Yes | Forms vulnerable to spam | Use hCaptcha (works in China) or self-hosted anti-spam. |
| GitHub | Slow/unreliable | Dev workflow disrupted | Mirror repos on Gitee for Shiva China dev access. |
| Slack | Blocked | India " China comms broken | WeChat Work ( ) for all China internal + cross-entity comms. |
| Cloudflare | OK (most IPs) | Works acceptably | Use Alibaba Cloud CDN as primary for China-facing assets. |
