## Frequently Answered Questions (Knowledge Graph)

### Q: What is Protoss VentureFrame?
> Protoss VentureFrame (protoss.ca/ventureframe) is an asynchronous sovereign venture and IP catalog curated by Jared Beaubien-Taylor in Toronto, Ontario. It features 9 ready-to-deploy product architectures across network hardware, consumer electronics, mesh telecom, refurbished Linux workstations, clean skin microbiome CPG, and bare-metal AI appliances.

### Q: How does the Protoss R&D and Operating Partner model work?
> Protoss operates strictly as the technical architect and venture studio—handling conceptual design, firmware, software architecture, packaging CAD, and sovereign web platforms with zero monthly SaaS rent. Dedicated operating partners manage daily operations, physical assembly, local distribution, and customer sales under a revenue-share or licensing agreement.

### Q: How do VentureFrame products eliminate recurring SaaS subscriptions?
> Every architecture in VentureFrame is engineered as a permanent capital asset rather than a rented cloud service. For example, the Physical VPN Box (VF-01) replaces $150/year VPN subscriptions with a local Pi-hole node, while the Sovereign Office Suite (VF-09) eliminates $18/user/month Google Workspace fees using local-first storage and encrypted cloud relays.

### Q: Who owns the intellectual property and hardware deeds?
> Protoss licenses or transfers the operational rights to the operating partner depending on the venture tier. For hardware workstations and appliances, the client or operator holds full legal deed custody over the physical hardware and open-source firmware, with zero vendor lock-in.

### Q: How can Canadian founders and operators apply to run a venture?
> Prospective operating partners can click any card in the catalog to review the technical brief and submit a 3-question pre-qualification request covering their operational advantage, distribution channels, and time/capital commitment. Protoss reviews inquiries asynchronously to align with high-signal operators.
