Abstract

This paper defines the Public-Facing Commercial Enterprise (PFCE) as an institutional category for commercially operated enterprises whose economic activity is materially connected to a recognizable public identity, intellectual-property portfolio, constituency, or other public-facing commercial relationship. It establishes the category definition, economic rationale, rights and governance perimeter, Public Constituency Effect, institutional need, and companion relationship with ZEVS while withholding proprietary operating mechanics.
