Abstract
A method for conditioning equity vesting in a residential access agreement on the achievement of company performance milestones within defined deadlines. The method introduces a vesting cliff that releases retroactively upon milestone achievement, combined with a termination right for either party upon milestone failure. Equity vested prior to termination is permanently retained by the property owner while unvested equity reverts to the company equity pool, creating a self-enforcing accountability mechanism without cash penalties.
