From newsletter subscriber to premium member to team workspace.
The V2 membership model keeps the existing free and premium ladder, but turns the current corporate promise into an actual product with seat management, organisation profiles, and billing ownership.
Membership should feel valuable, legible, and easy to operate.
The current production flows already prove demand. V2 makes value ladders and lifecycle operations clearer for both members and admins.
- Free acts as acquisition and newsletter capture.
- Premium acts as the core recurring community product.
- Corporate acts as the highest-value operational and sponsor-ready tier.
The first V2 version keeps pricing legible and sets up stronger upsell paths.
This route is the design and IA foundation. Live billing integrations can be reattached safely after the shell is validated.

Dashboard onboarding, profile completion, and sync health are visible.
Renewal prompts, networking value, and organisation controls reduce churn.
