Proprietary elements include a "Ten Step" hazmat shipping methodology used since the 1970s, custom hazmat shipping guides tailored to specific materials and operations, and Lion Membership—a post-training support layer bundling the Finder Service (expert regulatory Q&A), regulation updates, member bulletins, state hazardous waste summaries, and a My Resources portal. Course content is updated year-round to track new and changing regulations.

Lion monetizes through a mix of one-time and recurring revenue streams: individual online courses priced from $29 (awareness-level) to $895 (full certification), public workshops (typically $449–$895), live webinars, group/enterprise training (online, on-site, and private webinars priced by quote), EHS consulting services (classification reviews, site assessments, custom shipping guides), and sale of regulatory reference publications (IATA DGR, IMDG Code). Go-to-market is sales-led and multi-channel, combining self-serve online purchase, direct enterprise/group sales via phone and quote request, and content marketing (weekly Lion News, whitepapers, testimonials).
