Revenue also includes an affiliate referral stream (THB 4,000 per closed referral of 50+ employee companies on 12-month plans). The product portfolio extends beyond the core platform to include CONTĀINUUM (leadership development workshops with AI coaching), Portrait (Johari Window self-discovery tool), Happily Surveys (free survey platform), and the Happily API for programmatic recognition. Compliance posture covers Thailand PDPA, GDPR, and CCPA.
