PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET:

Bluethumb Technologies is currently seeking students to make economic models of the various aspects of the Blueprint Loyalty Program and Bluethumb Technologies.

The company is currently in stage one of it's two stage MVP development. The company first plans to launch the loyalty program at a local university before moving to a city wide test among various stakeholders we hope to acquire in the program.

The company is looking for 5 students that can collaborate and do the required economic modelling for the following areas:

1. Retailer cost and profit models for the Blueprint Loyalty Program

2. Central Fund model (How much money is needed to start and how much is going in and going out of the fund). Solve various problems regarding retail cost of doing business within this aspect (IE if consumer asks for a refund). Make investment model based on money flow that returns profit to the fund to create tokens for the fund. These models include for post secondary institutions with payment systems that allow students to use their student card for purchases. In addition to this, apply a banking/credit union model that would show the profit of the fund and what is in it for the bank/credit union

3.How many tokens should students receive from the fund if they are eligible to apply? How often should they get these tokens?

4. Model How non profits would be able to help their clients on a financial level while keeping the fund flush with cash, while asking them to help fund the model itself for their own clients with a certain % of their funding.

5.Determine a pricing model for the company that targets post secondary institutions and non profits. Aid in Determining what is included in pricing
