📝 IMPLEMENTATION RULES FOR KHAWAR NEHAL

1. Approval Required: No discount is automatic. All others require application or code verification.
2. Stacking Policy: Discounts generally do not stack. A client cannot use both “Early Bird” and “Alumni” discounts. The system should apply the single highest value discount eligible.
3. B2B vs. B2C:
   • B2C (Individuals): Focus on Community, PPP, and Early Bird.
   • B2B (Companies): Focus on Volume, Service Bundles, and Affiliate Commissions.
4. Documentation: Keep a simple ledger of who received which discount and why. This helps you analyze which strategy brings the most profitable long-term clients.
