Together, we build our businesses, partnering for mutual growth, success, and lasting impact.

District Analyst, LLC – Partnership Model

At District Analyst, we believe in transparency. If you are reviewing this page, it means you are being seriously considered for partnership. Below, we outline exactly how our revenue model works, how partners are compensated, and how equity ownership is structured.

Revenue Sharing Model

District Analyst operates on a lean model: no central office, no unnecessary overhead. We reinvest strategically in tools, resources, and brand reputation, while ensuring partners keep the majority of what they generate.

Breakdown of a $50,000 Engagement:

  • Firm Share (20%): $10,000
    Covers shared infrastructure, tools, branding, accounting/legal, and reinvestment into the firm.

  • Acquiring Partner (10–15%): $5,000–$7,500
    For sourcing, selling, and closing the engagement. The exact share increases for recurring contracts or long-term deals.

  • Delivering Partner (65–75%): $32,500–$37,500
    For leading and executing the work to a high standard. Retaining clients or securing repeat business increases the share.

Example Scenarios:

  • Standard Split (10% Acquirer, 70% Deliverer):

    • Firm: $10,000

    • Acquirer: $5,000

    • Deliverer: $35,000

  • Recurring Contract Secured (15% Acquirer, 65% Deliverer):

    • Firm: $10,000

    • Acquirer: $7,500

    • Deliverer: $32,500

  • Retention Bonus (75% Deliverer, 5% Acquirer):

    • Firm: $10,000

    • Acquirer: $2,500

    • Deliverer: $37,500

This structure ensures both business development and delivery are rewarded while the firm remains strong and scalable.

Equity Ownership

Revenue shares provide immediate earning power, but equity ownership is what builds long-term wealth and stability inside the firm.

How Equity Works at District Analyst

  • Initial Phase: New partners join under the revenue-sharing model only. No equity is granted upfront.

  • Proving Period (12–24 months): During this time, performance, collaboration, and cultural fit are assessed. Criteria include:

    • Revenue generated and delivered

    • Client retention and satisfaction

    • Commitment to partnership values and governance

  • Equity Earn-In: After the proving period, partners become eligible to buy in or earn in to equity.

    • Buy-in may be financial (contributing capital to the firm) or performance-based (meeting revenue/profit contribution thresholds).

    • Equity ownership provides voting rights, profit distribution beyond personal revenue, and long-term stability.

Why This Model Works

  • Fairness: Partners keep the lion’s share of what they generate.

  • Transparency: Clear, numerical splits — no hidden formulas.

  • Scalability: Incentives align across acquiring and delivering partners.

  • Ownership Path: Equity ensures commitment, alignment, and long-term value.

At District Analyst, partnership means more than revenue. It means taking ownership, building trust, and shaping the firm’s future together.

Partner Earnings Potential

At District Analyst, revenue share provides immediate earnings while equity provides long-term wealth-building. Below are illustrative examples of what a partner might expect in different stages of the partnership.

Key Insights

  • Immediate upside: Even in Year 1, partners retain the majority of what they bring in.

  • Long-term upside: Equity dividends grow as the firm scales, creating value beyond personal production.

  • Scalability: Partners who build teams under them (sales associates, analysts, subcontractors) can increase revenue without directly carrying all delivery work themselves.
