RSA isn't only a theory and a diagnostic. The same regenerative working-capital pool is in the field today — one beneficiary, NABU, across two signed client contracts in two sectors and two geographies. Capital that brings work forward instead of letting timing decide what gets done.
Deployed through Elevate, the platform operating the pool — origination, deployment and recycle tracking run on the same rails the capital model describes.
Reconciles. The tranches total $50,000 against $50,000 deployed, closing both cycles — the first on 15 October and IHS on 1 December. ⚠️ A schedule is a commitment, not a result: $17,500 of it has actually been received.
Velocity. NABU received the capital on 16 June 2026 and the first $10,000 returned to the pool on 1 September — 77 days later, and the first tranche of recoverable philanthropic capital this programme has actually seen come back. The remaining $40,000 is scheduled across three tranches to 1 December, 168 days from deployment. ⚠️ A received tranche is evidence that the rail works. It is not a measurement of how much comes back, which needs a completed cycle.
Revised. Revised three times. The original schedule was two $25,000 returns, one per cycle, on 1 September and 1 October 2026. A revision on 1 August 2026 restructured it into three tranches totalling $50,000, with full recovery on 15 November. A revision on 1 September 2026 set four tranches with full recovery on 1 December. The current schedule, from 5 October 2026, splits the 15 October tranche in two after $7,500 arrived on 1 October: $10,000 (1 Sep, received), $7,500 (1 Oct, received), $7,500 (15 Oct), $15,000 (15 Nov) and $10,000 (1 Dec). The total is unchanged at $50,000 and full recovery is still 1 December; only the timing within the first cycle moved.
Reading. Both revisions changed velocity and left recovery untouched. The four tranches total $50,000 against $50,000 deployed, and full recovery has moved from 15 November to 1 December — sixteen days later than the previous schedule and eight weeks later than the original. How much returns and how fast it returns are separate quantities, and only the second has moved.
Global (remote creative team)
A $25,000 regenerative working-capital bridge, deployed through Elevate on 16 June 2026, let NABU deliver a signed commercial contract with a global technology client instead of waiting on milestone payment. $17,500 has returned to the pool — $10,000 at day 77 and $7,500 at day 107. The final $7,500 is scheduled for 15 October, which would close this cycle at $25,000.
Côte d'Ivoire
A $25,000 deployment through Elevate on 16 June 2026 lets NABU start a signed 12-month literacy programme with IHS Côte d'Ivoire now — adapting and narrating mother-tongue stories and reaching schools — rather than waiting until year-end. Under the recovery order set on 1 September 2026 this cycle returns after the first, from day 152.
Multi-market
A $10,000 working-capital bridge against a signed commercial contract, committed from capital that has already been recycled once. Repayment is scheduled for the end of November 2026. The agreement is in place; the transfer has not yet been made, so no capital is counted as deployed.
The fragility these projects face is timing, not merit: the work has to be paid for before the contract pays out. The capital class doing this is Perennial Social Capital — zero-interest, non-liability, soft-repayable, and recycled at rate R. It closes the gap and then comes home.
A signed contract exists, but the cash-timing gap would delay the work or strain the team.
Capital from the pool is deployed — non-extractive, mission-aligned — so the work proceeds now.
When the contract pays, the capital returns to the pool — in tranches from 1 Sep 2026, fully recovered by 15 Nov.
The same capital funds the next cycle — across NABU's contracts and adjacent markets.
