"Learn to master the Wheel and you will soon find success near the corner."

One of the most important things in the game UI is the Wheel of momentum. It's a spinning wheel, which tells you basically how energetically your company is buzzing.

You will see periodic undulation of your momentum - hey: life's not a walk in the park. Diamondhood certainly is not!

Momentum comes from the overall velocity you achieve in projects.

You'll cave in to the matrix of business. The matrix is a "map" of opportunities and unknown waters. You can direct the Wheel nudging it one turn at a time.

There's 3 basic options for getting revenue:

• the Subscriber model (SaaS)
• ad based business model (Media)
• Tailored product model (COTS)

You can change your Mode anytime. However, be aware that such drastic stunt will

• set your Wheel to standstill (speed zero)
• you'll thus kind of "lose" energy
• any non-finished project will impact a -1 in Reputation stats
• any cancelled projects that have a Penalty Fee will be subtracted from Cash

Reputation points

tell how reliably and well you have finished your Projects.
