HIGO EXPLAINED
HIGO Explained. Understand Before You Explore.
If you are new to HIGO, start with context.
HIGO should be understood within the wider environment of global digital commerce and wellness commerce—not as a replacement for that wider landscape.
This page explains where HIGO fits, what should be evaluated and what information should be verified before you decide whether to explore further.

- What effort is required?
- What responsibilities accompany participation?
The answers should be clear enough for a person to evaluate the model without relying solely on promotional explanations.

activities
capabilities
costs
responsibilities
