Nio Kvinnor / Secrecy Plus (NK/SP): Investor and Stakeholder FAQs

Q: What is Nio Kvinnor (NK/SP)?

A: It is a Holding and HQ of a group of joint ventures (JVs) which expands progressively across different nation states, regions, and/or agencies and organisations in the related fields of secrecy-positive and secrecy-total software and hardware architectures, alongside an expanded and enhanced human intuitive-thinking from the inside-out of the tech in question.

• Note: It cannot be bought or sold.

Q: What is Secrecy Plus?

A: It is the B2B and B2C versions of the wider project Nio Kvinnor (NK/SP). It will be wholly owned and run by NK/SP.

Taken from the About page here at Secrecy Plus:

Secrecy Plus, for B2B and Citizen clients, sectors and markets, adds value by using properly implemented, existing technologies for the benefit of our clients.

The design decisions we take, both hardware and software, have one focus and one priority: “Does what we do at Secrecy Plus make cybercrime & similar less or more likely to happen?”

The product itself — Secrecy Plus — involves high- to medium-specification hardware, reshaped especially for our clients’ needs as secrecy-sensitive and secrecy-positive product lines, running a newly repurposed European operating-system.

For B2B and Citizen purposes, this will be branded “Secrecy Plus: your secrecy, intuitively”, and will either use one non-Silicon Valley tech manufacturing corporation as its distribution and delivery arm, or will use this corporation’s business model to replicate it with top-tier Euro-tech companies.

Q: How do you propose we make money out of NK/SP, if it can't be bought or sold?

A: Like the IKEA foundation and franchise business figure, money and value are extracted whilst the investor is inside the organisation. What the investor gets is not the opportunity to sell off at a profit after five years but the access to extract wealth over a much longer period of time.

A similar model is that of music streaming: here, you don't buy and own a specific vinyl LP to add value to your life but, rather, obtain access to such content, adding value in this sense.

Imagine, if you will, that you rent a part of a riverbank that is then exclusively yours to sit on: with this, you scoop out of the river itself as much fresh water as you can whilst you remain sitting at the river's edge. Once you leave the bank, you can no longer scoop any more water out. And since you didn't own the space you were sitting on, you can't sell the space. But you did extract real value all the time you were sitting there.

Q: What is the investor and stakeholder vehicle for participating and investing into the Holding and its eventual IP generated?

A: Joint ventures (JVs) between NK/SP and investors (these being, for example, nation-states, agencies from a nation-state, geographical regions, a group of any of the previous with common security doctrines, interests, and/or approaches, and so forth) are the vehicle. Again, it's access to the wealth-creating mechanisms of each JV that an investment gives to an investor and/or stakeholder.

Q: If we can't sell up when we leave a joint venture (JV), and in fact take nothing with us at all, how do we get a return on our investment from the activities generated?

A: Obviously, the model is not for everyone. If you don't like adding value to your life via access, you won't approve of this model. IKEA has made it work in the real business world for decades. But it's not for everyone, it's true.

Here, then, is how it works for those comfortable with the process:

• You buy into a JV. The JV will work only with the security doctrines of its specific investors. Let's say one JV contains the UK and Ireland: each understands that total surveillance is there mainly and primarily to constrain citizens' freedoms to move unobserved.

• In this sense, it's therefore possible that the architectures and wider IP developed by this JV will not suit all doctrines being employed today, never mind in the future. However, they will suit nation-states and agencies with similar security doctrines.

• Naturally, then, the opportunity to commercialise across the group of JVs will be automatic, to any JV and its doctrines.

Q: What if the JV which I participate in wants to onward commercialise IP and related devices that it has developed, but in this case outwith NK/SP, especially when in the early days the number of other JVs will be less numerous?

A: With HQ approval on a case-by-case basis, commercialisation of code and devices created by such a JV to potential clients outwith NK/SP as it stood at the time of the requested approval, and into regions relevant to the investor/stakeholder in question (other agencies, states, organisations and so on, with similar or differing security doctrines), will serve to help to generate wealth for these JVs whilst the internal market is still building.

• In all cases, however, IP will only be licensed; the licences will not themselves permit subsequent commercialisation by the direct clients involved, and reverse engineering by any party shall be expressly prohibited, with the condition that if examples of the aforementioned are discovered to have taken place, all rights to participation and access will be retroactively rescinded.
